2 years: Parent-Teacher Conference

We had your parent-teacher conference on Monday. You did so well. As you can see below you were assessed based on a 36 month assessment and you passed everything even though you're only 30 months old. Good job, O! Your teacher loves you and kept going on about how many interesting things you do and how you're so compassionate with others and how you love dancing around the classroom. Awww...my little snookie poo. One sad thing is that three of your best friends (Beam, Blaise, & Trey) are graduating to an older classroom in January. I hope you'll be okay! As of January you'll be the oldest child in the Penguin classroom. Here are the comments from your assessment:
