Kate loves preschool. She is gaining confidence each day. I love watching her walk into school and her backpack is bigger than she is, it's adorable. She loves to say the Pledge of Allegiance and often starts saying it at the site of a flag. "Indivisible" is a hard word for a 4 year-old, so Kate just bypasses it...Only Kate. They also sing an adorable song at the start of the day which I wanted to record for you: "Good morning God. This is your day. I am your child. Show me your way." Every Friday, she brings home about 20+ pieces of art! :)
The girls at the Fall Festival at Kate's school. Kate is quite obsessed with Hello Kitty and couldn't resist herself. Emma opted for the flamingo art!
When I first heard that Kindergarten was only 3 hours, I was wondering how they would cram everything into that short period of time, when some children go all day. I have been blown away by Emma's progress. She is so excited about school, the bus, reading and her friends. Above is a picture of Emma's "bobble head" that we saw at her curriculum night back in September. We've started homework and a reading log. We had our first parent teacher conference last week. Mrs. Nicastro said that Emma is a "friend to everyone" and "she is a huge sponge when it comes to learning." They are "graded" on letter recognition, letter sounds, site word recognition, counting, and number recognition. In the past month, she has made great strides and she is "on track" for the lovely 3rd grade guarantee that has now been put into action.
And then there is our sweet boy Sage. Last week was Fire Prevention Week, and the fireman and "chire chuuckk" showed up at library time. He knows that the firetruck "helps" those that are in "trouble." Boy was he excited! He was mesmerized, so this was the best picture I could get! He has a big birthday weekend coming up!
