Today was an incredibly proud day for me! Big Sis has come leaps and bounds from the beginning of the year. It's not that there were things she had to improve, but from where she was to where she is is actually a little accelerated...as I've always thought...and her Grammy Kathy ALWAYS knew! Here is the gist of what her teacher said:
She knows all her colors, letters (except T), and numbers up to 10 (which is as far as they have gone). This means, when asked to recognize she can do so. She is a nurturer, something her teacher is most amazed by. She says it's something she's never seen in her 7 years of teaching. Big Sis is always helping the students that struggle, always keeping them in line and making sure everyone is happy and getting along (this is soooooooooo me!). She is a sponge. Mrs. Kroutil has encouraged us to start early reading with her this summer. She is ahead of the game in this area and thinks we can get her there shortly and she will be really ready for next year with reading and writing...at least the early skills. Mrs. Kroutil referred to Big Sis as a "Model Student"! Can you believe it??? Just what every parent wants to hear.

I've always said that I think she could test up a grade. I've felt this way since she was about Baby Girl's age. She's always ahead of the game on some level, even when it comes to the people she has hung out with. Mrs. Kroutil said the same thing today. It was a comment to the extent of not being surprised if she was tested up in Elementary school. I wanted to jump out of my skin! I thought maybe I was one of those parents who just thought their kid was super smart...but thanks to her Daddy's genes, it's true! Only time will tell, but for now, I'm encouraged by my wiggly, busy, beautiful little girl!
