Friends

Baddin told me this morning...

*anne, now i have many friends*

He looked happy about it. I noticed.

I noticed how he kept telling me of the stories of his nearest friends. I noticed how suprised he was when he expressed his fascination on how his friends helped him in class.... or how they kissed his cheeks....

He is fascinated with the concept of friendship... and with 9 boys in the class... i think for now, he has more than enough friends to play with and enjoy the lessons together. He is better now not only in his social skills but also his other skills.. i am hopeful of his much needed development.

Report Card

Many people are involved in the education of baddin in his kelebeklar class..Next to the teacher assistants whom i lnow not their names.... these r the teachers involved directly in his school life this year..

1. Hülya Furuncu - Class Teacher
2. Tuğba Safyürek - English
3. Cennet Bayır - Physical Education
4. Nurdan Solmaz - Music
5. Gülçin Erikçi - Art
6. Enbiya Yazıcı - Drama
7. Emel Türkmen - Chess
8. Gülizar Yasankal - Folk Plays
9. Seda Ayrancı - Computer

We had our official parents -teachers meeting lasy sunday... report card distribution as well...
I went to see his teachers one by one.... In general.... everybody said that Baddin needs to develop more....He is having some problems in certain areas....particularly his motor skills,social skills, coordination skills etc...Only his english teacher describes baddin as *good*..well..thatz probably because baddin has the basic english i suppose... and his chess teacher...she thinks that he is good in chess even..he has more capability to play chess than hatice.. which was really a suprise to me of course coz baddin never exceeds hatice in anything much...in short, they told me that baddin need to develop more....

Here is what i think... and i know... baddin is one very intelligent boy... his problem is his late development in his speech... in his motor skills.... compared to his sister... he is way behind... but he loves learning... he loves art even... however, due to his incapability to perform the motor skills well... he is left behind... he needs someone to show him the way... he needs to be given more role... he needs to develop his self confidence... once that achieved, i think he will be able to find his full potential...the one i know he can be...instead of being under the shadow of his sister's excellence.i have my full confidence in u my son... i know u can do it with a lot of help from ur teachers.

i also went to school today... here is what i saw of baddin's classmates heheheh.. i have loads of photos more (contribution from his class teacher)... Alas, time is not kind to me... will try to upload those pics later...Enjoy baddin n his friends!
