While Ellie stayed home with Nans tuesday am ED and myself went to Ellie's first preschool conference.
We are very fortunate to have a great local preschool that has similar learning goals as we do.
The head teacher, Ms. B, brings the children into her room one on one in the week leading up to the conference. Each child is given a set of tasks to complete. The results are reviewed with us.
The tasks that were given to Ellie are all similar to things we have done and do with her on a daily basis. Ellie is able to do all of these things (cut a line with scissors, count to 10, recognize letters not in ABC order, follow three step directions, match similar objects, etc.). The amazing thing is that she didn't do all these things for Ms. B. She would show her some things and then just become silly.
I walked away having to remind myself that she is 3. As Ms. B said "she is intelligent, but she has the maturity of a three year old."
Ellie is our little smarty pants and she makes us proud.
BTW- Her fever finally broke and she is starting to feel better. We have a little ways to go but the end of this virus is in site.

Had to chuckle on that one...."maturity of a 3 year old". You go Ellie; make sure you keep that little kid inside you for as long as you can!
