Kindergarten Open House

Olivia just LOVES kindergarten. She is very sad that there are only 6 days left. Olivia has a natural love for school. I have never had to nag her to do any school work. She loves writing and coloring.

Olivia also loves friends. After a few months of school her teacher said Olivia felt like she had no one to play with. The teacher said none of the kids have cliques and everyone plays together. After talking to Olivia we found that she finds it hard to approach a group of kids playing and ask if she can join in the game. I let Olivia know that is a hard thing for adults to handle and that she was very brave. We have prayed with her to help her have courage to approach kids and ask to play with them. Since then, Olivia has become better friends with most kids in her class. I am very proud of her!

Mrs. Engelhardt just told me that Olivia has the best penmanship in her class! Earlier in the year she classified Olivia as one of the "happy" children and was glad to have Olivia in her class.

Here are some more of Olivia's friends: Cate, Ally, and Sara.

One of these girls is a high functioning autistic. She has an aid that comes to class everyday. Her aid asked me if I thought Olivia would mind having a few play dates with the child because Olivia has such an even temper and is patient. The aid thought Olivia would be able to play well with the autistic girl. I spoke with Olivia and she said it would be fine. The two girls had fun and some good teaching moments arose for the girl. This is just another example of how great our Olivia is!
