Student-Led Conference

I can't believe it is already time for Zeke's spring conference.  Not only that, but I can't believe he is old enough to lead his conference.  It was so cute.  When we walked in, we picked up his conference table tasks.  There were four tables set up for us to visit.  Each table had an activity that he needed to talk to us about (my mom went with us) or show us. The first table we visited had a folder of some of his art in it.  He went through the folder and talked to us about some of the pieces of work he had created.  He loves art and was probably the most proud about this activity.

At the next table he was able to show us how he could cut a straight line, a curvy line, and a zigzag line.  He did a great job cutting.
 

When he was finished cutting his lines he could select a puzzle to complete for us.  He loves working puzzles so I knew this would be fun/easy for him.  He selected the doctor puzzle to complete.

Once Zekey was finished with his puzzle we moved over to the next table where he could create an 'AB' pattern out of cubes.  Once he completed his pattern then he needed to count objects, in this case bugs, of ten or more.  We reached in and grabbed a handful and he counted 16 for us with no mistakes.  Zeke had been singing his new favorite song, Scream & Shout (the clean version, of course) and he kept singing "Britney, Britney."  It was really funny.  He was using his AB pattern cubes as a microphone to sing his song.

Next I gave him a list of upper case letters, all out of order.  He had to tell me what the letter was and I needed to circle each letter he said incorrectly.  He knew every single one of his upper case letters.  Then we moved on to lower case letters and repeated the activity.  He said 'b' on 'd' and thought the 'q' was an 'a' but other than that he did great!

Then he did the same things with his numbers...

Finally, he had to match up upper case letters to lower case letters and tell us what sound each letter makes.  He did a great job!

I was very proud of my little Zekey-Pants tonight.  Through the activities he showed us tonight I could see how much he has learned this year.  I am so happy that he has an amazing teacher who works really hard teaching him wonderful things.  He just loves and adores her!

I'm sad my little boy is growing up so fast.  Before we know it he will be in kindergarten.  :(  Time flies way too fast for this momma. 

Until next time,
