Changes

Jesper graduated from the Middle Infant to the Older Infant classroom on May 7. We had a parent-teacher conference prior to the change. They said he is excellent at manipulating toys (stacking blocks is his new trick) and is very social and active. He loves to play “Where’s Jesper” and often initiates games.

He is going to have so much fun in the new room – they have a lot of new and different and more challenging toys, do art projects every week, and have a music teacher come into the classroom on Thursdays.

So far, the transition was the easiest of any of his classroom changes. He hardly even seems to care that he is going to a new room. In fact, many times that first week he could hardly get on the floor fast enough when he saw the fun things they had planned for him that day (giant blocks one day, a parachute with balls the next, and mirrors all over the floor another day).

The same week as his graduation, he began transitioning to one nap per day. Oh, the freedom that comes with only one nap!! Several times, he has waited to go down for his nap until about noon but sleeps until almost 3pm. It’s amazing how much stuff you can get done in a 3 hr. time span. :)
