PreK Recap

We could not have asked for a better PreK year for Abby! It was so rewarding to watch her learn new things and meet new friends. Of course she had the most AMAZING teacher, Mrs. Schell! 

A few things I remember shocked me about PreK ...

- Within the first week, Mrs. Schell had 22 kids walking QUIETLY in a straight line to the cafeteria!

- All 22 kids know to eat their protein first, followed by their veggie, fruit and lastly their dessert. 

- During parties, kids always ate their veggies and fruit first ... most time their cupcakes and candy went untouched!

- The emphasis put on reading - Abby had to read or be read to 20 minutes a day ... and parents had to sign off on it (nothing like accountability).

- The projects/homework assigned and the ability for the kids to complete the assignments. They did several projects about themselves, created an alphabet book and did a presentation on an animal ... just to name a few. :) 

At the end of PreK, Abs can ...

- Count to 15 in Spanish

- Count by 5's to 100

- Count by 2's to 20

- Accomplished numerous site words (she loved doing 'spelling' tests)

- Reads beginner books

- Writes first & last name

- Say/write phone number
