Preschool Update

A few weeks ago I went to a parents workshop at Emmy's preschool and I was very impressed with what I saw. They basically showed us different activities they do at school and a few of their teaching methods. They really know how to make learning fun which is why Emmy still loves to go. They are learning about the planets/sun/moon in science right now. Emmy asked me the other day if I knew that the sun was a really big star... smart girl! One of her teachers told me that she is very good at art, which I know because she loves to draw at home. Her other teacher said to me "If I just had a class full of Emily's that would be so awesome". She got her alphabet crown yesterday and said that just her and one other girl have gotten them so far. You really have to earn it too. They have to be able to spell all the lower case and capital letters, know all the sounds the letters make and which ones have two sounds. So now she is working on blending and will be reading very soon! Her favorite thing to do in her free time (besides draw) is too teach herself Spanish from her little laptop. Some of the words she knows but most of them she writes down and asks Daddy what they mean. She is loving playing with kids her age now. She was so shy before and now she even asks other kids at the park if they want to play with her. A little girl at the store said hello to Emmy and she even said hello back. Before she would have just kept on walking. I'm so proud of her!!!
