Elijah is Reading!

Elijah loves school and he loves to learn. He soaks up information like a little sponge. So it should have come as no surprise when his kindergarten teacher asked the special education teacher if he could be in her classroom for more of the day. Her reasoning: Elijah CAN do what the other kids are doing.:) He attends an all day kindergarten and spends a part of the day in a general education setting and then a part of the day in a resource room. Then he has specials, recess and lunch with his kindergarten class. So of course, as his Mommy, I am so excited for him and proud.

She also mentioned that the kindergartners get so excited to see Elijah when he comes in. He is a popular little dude!

When Elijah plays, he doesn't play with cars and trucks. He plays with playdoh, a magnadoodle, crayons and markers, books and flashcards. He often carries around a little notebook and a pencil. He practices writing his letters, but mostly the letter E.:) These are the things that he loves best. He also loves Signing Time DVD's and Dora DVDs. He is also very creative. Oh and he doesn't sleep with stuffed animals. He sleeps with books or a container filled with his favorites. He loves containers. He can't wait for the coffee and cocoa containers to be empty because he knows that he gets to have them. Last week, we went to McDonalds and they were putting the Happy Meals into little Halloween pails. After Elijah ate his chicken and fries, he put his letter and word flash cards into the pail. He carries it around everywhere and then sits and takes the cards out to read them. He even takes them to school.:)

 

So with all of this said, I knew that Elijah was ready to read. I just didn't realize how quickly he would pick it up. Here is Elijah, READING!:):)
