Yesterday WCCO's Jason DeRusha had a parent/teacher conference at his 4 year old son's preschool.
He came back and wrote a fun DeBlog post on the "Preschool Teacher Translator"
Here are just a few of the words to watch for....
"concerned about his classmates" = tattletale
"popular" = bossy
"shares" = steals toys, then returns them
You can read the full list here on Jason's DeBlog: Preschool Teacher Translator
Our conference is coming up in a few weeks - I will have to keep an eye out for those buzzwords.
May shared with him that "slight" = short.
I shared that at our last conference we were told Ben was a "robust contributor to conversation" ie: won't. stop. talking.
(Hmmm... I personally know few "robust contributors to conversation" at work and socially. Wonder if I can subtly work that phraseinto a 360 performance evaluation or a conversation? )
Do you have any additional words to add to the Preschool Teacher Translator?
