A Post About Lucy

Yesterday Dave and I went to Lucy's parent teacher conference at preschool. Before we left I was joking with her and I asked if she thought the teacher would say she was the naughtiest in class, or the loudest, or maybe the quietest. She said that Ms. Gigi would say she was "the goodest in class." Well, Lucy was right. :)

Okay, I am exaggerating a little bit, but not much. We all already knew this of course, but it has been confirmed that Lucy rocks! :) They said she is a pleasure to have in class; she has lots of friends and the other kids tend to gravitate to her because she is so smart and gets along well with everyone. That is probably the best thing you could ever be told about your child!

This year before the conferences, the kids all had a turn to hang out with the head teacher (Ms. Gigi), one-on-one. The purpose of this was for the teacher to do a bit of kindergarten readiness screening. Lucy exceeded on every item. Most of her skills already go beyond what they will be expecting of her next year. She has excellent fine motor skills, she can write her first and last name, she can count past forty without help, she knows all of her shapes and can draw many of them. The best one of all though, she scored 20 out of 20 on the pre-reading assessment test! She is sooo close to reading on her own. (Tessa- thank you for telling me about starfall.com! Ms. Gigi said they use it in the kindergarten here.)

Henry is fussing so I have to be done with this post. To summarize, Lucy is just awesome! Freddy and Henry are too but the details on those boys will have to be another day.
