Report card from daycare

Yesterday, I sat down with Olivia's teacher, H, to go over her progress at daycare. H reported that Olivia is very smart, has a beautiful vocabulary and speaks really well. She plays well with others, is very independent and understands instruction.

H said that Olivia could understand 2 part instructions which is impressive for a 2 year old. For example, if she is told to take off her shoes and put them in the box, she can complete it. Most 2 year old can only do the first part - take off shoes.

Olivia knows all her colors and shapes. If H ask her to pick out a blue square, she can do it and it is not an easy task for a 2 year old to know the color AND the shape. She is involved in class activities and interact well with the other kids. Best of all, Olivia has a good memory. She knows the answer to a subject that the class discussed a month ago.

The only thing that we have to work on is when she gets frustrated or if another kid takes her toy, she would sometimes bite, instead of using her words. Biting is a pretty common behaviour among toddlers and they will eventually grow out of it.

H thinks that Olivia is advanced for her age and sometimes H is surprised that Olivia is only 2!

In a nutshell, Olivia is doing GREAT!! Hubby said it is a tradition that if you can a good report card, you get to go out for ice cream. Will Olivia get to have ice cream? :)
