Nursery Class Reports

Happy (early) 4th of July everyone! It will be business as usual here tomorrow. (Oh, and Happy Birthday to my sweet mother-in-law!)

So we got Nursery Class Reports today from school. What is that? Well, it's a two page report about how Cerys has developed this past school year. (They are still in school here until July 20th) I have laughed and laughed at the wording of some things. I had to call my mom today and read it to her and we thought it would be funny to let you know some of what was written in her report.

First of all, let me just say that we are extremely proud of Cerys and how far she has come since September. She is like me, and is painfully shy (when you first meet us) so I would just cringe some mornings dropping her off because I knew in the beginning that it was hard and scary for her.

So, here you go-

"Cerys can organize herself well and she shows care and concern for others. Cerys often comes to report problems and is becoming more able to sort difficulties within her circle of friends."

"Cerys was initially very shy on entering Nursery and was often reluctant to respond in a group situation. Cerys has made huge steps since then and sometimes she is a proper chattberbox!"


"Cerys has blossomed over the year from a very shy, often quiet little girl to a confident, outgoing, chatty young lady. Her behavior is excellent and she is developing a lovely sense of humour."

"Cerys is also very affectionate and the big sister instinct in her does a very good job at looking after other children."

"Cerys responds very well to everyday instructional Welsh. I hear Cerys giving instruction to others spoken in Welsh. It's lovely to hear words in Welsh coming out in a Texan accent! Cerys is developing a good Welsh vocabulary including counting to ten."

"Cerys has good physical skills in both gross and fine movements. She can pedal trikes and negotiate a safe pathway around obstacles when riding and running."

And my favorite comment-

"Cerys has developed a good vocabulary, very rarely responding with one or two words when six or seven are possible." (Don't we know it!!!!)

So what I get from all of this is that she likes to be in charge and talks non-stop. Hmmm, I think I remember seeing that on someone else's reports cards growing up.

Cerys, we are SO proud of you. You are growing up into a lovely young lady and we love you so much!
