Julian is one amazing student! He loves superheroes, technology, and anything about space. He likes to build buildings with blocks and see how high he can make them (possibly a future architect or engineer in the making)! Julian is a student who likes to help the teacher in the classroom with various responsibilities, and takes his role as the “teacher’s helper” very seriously. At times, I hear him speak to teachers and I have to remind myself that he is 5, as he uses large vocabulary words. He has excelled in learning high frequency words and writing words in sentences. He loves looking (and reading) books, especially looking at encyclopedias and creating his own stories using the ChatterPix application on the Ipad. He has led our class in the Pledges of Allegiance, Texas, and our school pledge with great pride! He is very respectful to teachers and his peers. I am very proud to say that he was my student in Pre-K, and am very proud of all his accomplishments.
