Kindergarten Questionnaire

Sam brought home his "Friday Folder" for me this afternoon. He's thrilled that sometimes I get "homework" from his teacher to complete over the weekend. The folder contained student profile page and a list of questions about Sam. I really enjoyed thinking about each question in relation to my little boy, so I thought I'd post my short responses here:

Has previous schooling been a positive experience for your child? Why or why not?
Yes. Sam loves structure and routine. He is very particular about order and structure, so the routine of preschool has been good for him. He also loves to learn.

What are your child's special strengths?
Sam is very observant and curious. He has a very active imagination and is very creative when he pretends. He already loves to read and has great comprehension and retention of complex stories.

What, if any, limitations will he/she have to overcome?
Sam doesn't have specific limitations, but he does tend to give up on activities or projects that prove difficult. At present he tends to shy away from activities that require refined motor skills (like writing and drawing).

Share with me what makes your son/daughter special.
Sam is very loving and likes to wholeheartedly attach himself to people/objects that he cares about. Although he is a cautious person by nature, he easily can love and embrace such people and things after he has had time to be properly introduced.

What does your child enjoy doing at home?
Sam likes to read, play with figurines and pretend play. He likes to dress up in superhero costumes. He also likes looking at cities and landmarks on Google Earth with the help of his dad!
