I received a message from Alma's teacher on Friday giving a report of Alma's week.
Hi! I just wanted to let you know a little about Alma's first few days at XYZ. She has been very busy in class painting, doing art projects, and working with the pink tower and knob-less cylinders among other things. She has had snack daily and seems to adjusted well so far to the basic routine of the day. She has started to get to know a few of the children by either having snack with them or by interacting with them on the playground. These are all positive steps.
As you mentioned, she is very independent and happy to do the things she able to on her own without assistance. She also appears to be very adamant about how she prefers things to be done and what she rather not have to do. Thus, the battle of wills today. She forgot to clean up a gluing work that had gotten messier then she expected and then probably felt a little overwhelmed, so she was upset about that. Then, when it was time to get ready to go home and I wanted to help because you were waiting she became upset again and would not allow me to help.
All of this is fine and adjustments will be made as we progress. I just wanted to let you know what happened today. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to let me know.
Sincerely,
XYZ Teacher
