Today Annie went to meet her Kindergarten teacher and see her classroom before she starts school next week. She is so excited, but was adorably shy and cuddly while we were there. Fortunately, after a few minutes of introductions and showing me all the papers I need to go through, the teacher was able to take Annie into the classroom for one on one testing with no objection on Annie's part. Thirty minutes or so later, Annie reemerged and cuddled up on my lap and the teacher declared Annie's testing 'perfect'. After checking out the Kindergarten doors and where the bus drops off, we headed home. On the drive, I asked Annie what the test included. "I don't know . . . I don't remember," she predictably answered. But then she excitedly remembered, "Oh! She asked me to count as high as I could . . . so I counted to 100! Then I stopped, 'cause 100 is like zero all over again, and it just starts all over."
"Wow," I said. "What'd your teacher think about your counting?"
"I think she was impressed," Annie said with a smile.
"Did you read for her? Does she know you can read?" I asked.
"Oh, I didn't show her I could read! Wow . . . she's gonna be really impressed when I start school!"
I think she's even more excited to start school now. :-)
