Maren's was first. Her teacher told me that the class of kids that she has is so smart that for the first time she is doing sight words with the kids as well as the rest of the curriculum. She also said Maren was so enthusiastic and loved art. (She is really good at art, but it kind of shocked me since she never really liked to sit down and color - even though she's really good at it.) She said Maren excelled at the learning part and at the social part of pre-school. I knew she loved school. When you drop her off, she runs excitedly to the door. The only thing to work on for her is her number 15. So anytime you see her have her count to 16 and make sure she doesn't skip 15. Way to go Mare-Bear! You had better keep it up for another 16ish years - counting college.
Alexa's was in the evening. Her teacher, Mrs. DeVault, just explained how much Alexa has a love of life. She says every lesson she teaches she sees how Alexa is just as excited to learn it as her last lesson. She also commented that teachers weren't allowed to have favorite students, but if she could, Alexa would be right up there. I asked if there was anything I could work on with Alexa and she said there was nothing she needed help on and she was one of the top students in class. She does need to memorize her multiplications facts, but I know she's been working on it. Alexa is doing really well and it will pay off when becoming a doctor/veterinarian! Good job sis!
Both girls are doing great and I really hope they enjoy school for a long time. As parents, I know it's my job to stay on them and make sure that they have the basic foundation of the fundamentals to make high school and college easier. I know the areas that my children are maybe doing above average in class, but they still struggle when they are home and need my help to build their skill set. I just hope that in years to come it stays easy and enjoyable for them to learn!
