Subject: Update on Nolan
Hi Judy and Suzanne... SO, after all these years of being a
teacher, I am finally on the other end as a parent : ) I was just
writing to check in on how Nolan is doing in school. Socially
fitting in? Being nice to others? Being respectful to adults?
etc. Thanks for your time... I've deal with 100's of emails like
this, so no rush getting back to me, I know how it goes : )
Have a great day...
Steve Maguire

Hi Steve - Nolan is adorable and adjusting very well to school. He
seems to be very comfortable with the other children in the class.
He loves to play with the legos and that seems to be popular in
their class. It is early in the year and there is a lot of adjustment for
these little guys as coming to school is a very big step for them.
I am always amazed that they can come in to a group of peers and
adults that they do not know, and blend so well together in such a
short period of time! He is right where he should be at
this point in the year! His teachers will be able to give you more
feedback
as the months progress but right now....no worries!!!
Sincerely,
Suzanne and Judy
