We had our parent-teacher conference for Jacob's preschool class this morning. I just find it funny that they have"conferences" in preschool. Nonetheless, it was very informative, and his teachers take their jobs very seriously.
They said that Jacob is top notch academically and leading the class. He likes crafts, puzzles and the 10 Commandments DVD. In comments, they wrote, "Jacob has a dominate personality and is a leader at play. He is at times mischievous and at times very well mannered. He enjoys school."
They told us that he was a "natural leader," and that we should spend time reading to him about leaders in the Bible and how they led well and how they led people astray. They said that other kids really do follow Jacob. I thought that was a great advice.. because leading can be good and it can be bad.
He's growing so quickly, and the little baby is no longer there.. he's officially a boy. We pray for him to be a godly leader who loves the Lord with his whole heart. Interestingly, although he is one of the taller boys in the class, he is not one of the oldest. He's really in the middle for his age in that class.
Next week is PJ week.. they get to wear their PJ's and slippers (he's excited to wear the slippers that Grandma Krosschell knitted for him recently), and bring their favorite stuffed "pet." I am sure he will bring brown bear. PJ week.. Praise Jesus! I think they are so clever at Discovery Days and I know he will miss going to class next year.
