here's excerpts from a write-up on me by my kindergarten teacher.
january 1996
- lilly is a competent, eager student and a gentle, encouraging friend. "andrea, i just love your lunch box!" she exclaimed one day on the way to the cafeteria.
- her reading ability is admirable, and as she read if you give a mouse a cookie to me, it was evident that she was using various strategies to recognize words. The meaning of the text was clear to her as she commented upon it saying, "He's getting carried away!"
june 1996
- a recent writing sample consisted of these sentences: "This is a 70s girl. The 70s girl is cool. The girl is 7." it was accompanied by an illustration of a girl with long blonde hair, braided and bedecked with a flower, wearing bell bottoms. Lilly chose this piece as her best in april because "I really like the 70s and flowers in my hair. I really do like my handwriting. i think it's cool."
- lilly is a wonderful little girl and a model student. she is thoughtful, conscientious and capable. although quiet and somewhat shy and self-conscious around adults, i am delighted that she is playful and gregarious with her peers.
the then and now comparison is kind of striking. i still don't write in complete sentences all the time.
