Tanner's Progress

Tanner has learned so much during his first five months of kindergarten. I wanted to document a little of it here. He got Buzz today at school, which means he got a green card and that he also made extra good behavior choices. Tan said that he and his friend Quincy like to chat a lot, but today they helped each other by not chatting, and they both got a Buzz to take home! (There are three Buzz's in the classroom) Tanner was very excited about the good choices he and his friend had made together.

Each night the three Buzz's and their books go home with a student. The student writes a little something and/or draws a picture about what they did at home. I was most impressed when Tanner pulled out the Buzz book when he got home and started working. The first time Tan brough Buzz home I wrote in the book. The second time I helped him with each letter of each word, which yes, took forever and was a little painful. Today, however, Tan pulled out the book, grabbed a pen, and started writing. This is what he came up with:


Translation: "I am so happy to get Buzz for the fifth time. (I helped him with the silent 'e'in 'time') We wrestled. We watched a movie. (I helped him spell watched, he then got distracted after writing it and didn't finish the sentence) We had dinner. Tanner, 6 (age). Then he decided to add 'Jensen'". The 12 is his number in class, and it usually goes after his name on all his assignments. I actually have no idea what the last line is. I didn't see him write it.

My favorite is resold. "We resold." Awesome, Tan. I love it. And yes, that probably is how it should be spelled.

My little man is growing up. I love him so much and love seeing his progress. He is my sweet, sweet boy, and I am so happy that he loves school so much.
