Comments
Thomas seems to really enjoy school. He gets very involved and caught up with his play. He is very imaginative. He loves firetrucks and makes firetrucks sounds, sometimes a little bit loud, but we keep reminding him to use inside voices and he is responding to our suggestions. He loves the rice table but at times his excitement causes the rice to get thrown around. Thomas has good manners, usually remembering to say "please" and "Thank You". Thomas is a very loving boy.
