We are so proud of Lucas and how well he is doing in school. He is our kiddo who didn't want anything to do with writing or learning his letters until he went to Pre-K. That was fine with me... I don't feel like kids that young should be pressured in these areas. He enjoyed pre-K and learned some things and then it was on to Kindergarten this year. What a change we have seen in these last several weeks! He comes home telling us that he can read and spell words (the, can, we, I, see, and a few others). His teacher wrote on his midterm report that "his writing skills (sounding out words) is INCREDIBLE!" Now we see a boy who tries writing words on his own and is obviously proud of his ability.
Yesterday after school he found an All About Me poster we had and filled out the whole thing with a little bit of help !
Last week we noticed that he started trying to write our last name on his school papers. I asked him how that happened, and he said, "I just wanted to do it!"
He also spent time during the church service on Sunday writing, rather than drawing. He wrote things like "I can see the Lucas Bonit", and wrote his name repeatedly. I wrote it correctly for him on his paper, and he practiced it a few times.
This week he is bringing home papers with his last name spelled correctly! This is something he is totally doing on his own!
We our proud of our big Kindergartner!
