My Superstar!

I went to pick up Sofia from preschool today and was happy to find that today was Maestra Anna's turn for the afternoon. ( Sofia has two teachers who alternate morning and afternoon with the kids since they are there from 8:15-3:30) While I was waiting for Sofia to go back inside to get her things I was approached by her teacher. She began to tell me that she was very happy with Sofia and was particularly eager to give her compliments for such a polite and well behaved girl. Of course I am relieved because since she could talk I have been persistent with having her say please and thank you, and I am happy to hear she has even taken it to the next level by always asking, "may I play with this please?" followed by "thank you" according to her teacher. I even received kudos for her at school snacks that I send with her every morning. Though this is something aside. As opposed to sending the store bought cakes and muffins like most moms do around here, I send homemade muffins, dried fruit, fruit leather or carrot sticks. Although I don't do it for the compliments, I do it to encourage good eating habits, the compliments never hurt!


But the biggest relief was that the teacher said that Sofia has adjusted very well and gets along with the other kids in her class, she has learned quickly how things work in the classroom and is eager to participate. She said that she is very intelligent, and observes the situation before acting and then makes choices that are to her advantage. She is a joy to have in class...

Can you say beaming mommy with tears in her eyes! OH YEAH!
