Yesterday, hubby and I went to EJ's school to meet up with his teacher. It was time for EJ's evaluation.
I was a little nervous. I know how EJ is at home but I don't know much how he is in school. I get little feedbacks once in a while from his teachers but not the whole story.
So here it is. Bad stuff first.
According to the teacher, EJ is active in school. That's good. But sometimes he gets a little hyper. If he had a choice, he'd rather play with his friends than do his artcrafts. They'd run and chase around the room sometimes knocking things down. Good thing the light fixtures are not on the walls, otherwise they'd knock it down too =) He also has a little problem following instructions like lining up, putting things away, etc. The teacher said, she would be tougher this week to see how EJ would react.
And the good stuff.
EJ is very friendly. He has a lot of friends, mostly Japanese =) The teacher said that he has good communication skills and his friends have learned a lot from him. And I think this is true. At the Christmas Bazaar we attended last Sunday, the mom of EJ's Japanese friend told me that her daughter is learning English from EJ =) The teacher also mentioned that EJ has very sharp memories. He easily learns new songs. He knows his alphabets, numbers, shapes, colors, etc. But what I didn't tell the teacher is that EJ has learned all that a while ago already. Teacher said EJ is smart.
It's nice to know all these things from another person. But what the teacher told us did not really surprise me. More or less he is like that at home. I think I can explain why EJ would rather play with his friends than do his work in school. Maybe it's because he doesn't have playmates at home. We don't have neighbors with kids and EJ only get to interact with kids when he is at school.
He is also a bit stubborn and doesn't do well in following instructions especially when he is told to put his toys away after playing. Maybe because I let him get away with it sometimes at home. But we'll work on it.

Seguro time na for another baby para me kalaro talaga si EJ at home, hehehe'
Wow, that's good news. I think that's better than being a nerdy but lacking in interrelations skills. You can always help him work on following instructions. More on a focus thing.
Cas, hahaha!
@ wits, yeah that's what we're doing right now. And thanks =)
Agree ako sa sinabi ni Ganda! hehehe.
I think EJ is a typical tot, as my younger sister received a similar feedback from her son's teacher as well. Ayaw din sumunod sa teacher at times, but that's because madali silang mainip, lalo na pag mag-queue in line.
