| Teacher's Comments | ||
| Dante is a very intelligent student with an excellent memory and a great ability to learn new concepts quickly. He is also very friendly and respectful, and he interacts positively with both his classmates and teacher. It is always wonderful to see his willingness to learn and the effort he puts into class activities. Although Dante is progressing very well, he sometimes hesitates to speak in English because he is afraid of making mistakes. We are currently encouraging him to feel more confident when expressing himself and to understand that making mistakes is a natural part of learning a new language. Additional exposure to English through songs, conversations, games, or videos at home can help him feel more comfortable using the language naturally. Dante has great potential and a beautiful attitude toward learning, and I am excited to continue watching his confidence and English skills grow little by little. It was a pleasure to be part of your child’s learning journey this year. Thank you for your support, and we look forward to seeing you again at Little kids next year for more learning and fun! |
