Time to get caught up.
Pearl had her school program last week. It's hard to believe all these kids are five and six years-old. Some are even graduating from the kindergarten program and won't be back next year. It's kind of sad. Most of them have been together at the daycare since they were babies. And it's weird to think Pearl will be one of the "big girls" next year.
They each drew a picture of themselves and their class.
Since Pearl's kindergarten is part of our daycare and most of the kids had been there since early in the morning, her teacher kept the program short and sweet. Each kid had a letter - which all together spelled out "kids love learning" - and recited something they learned in school that started with their letter. Pearl's was "O". Since she remembers EVERYTHING, she recited perfectly, "O is for orbit the path our planets take. It takes 365 days for the Earth to go around the sun."
Cole was a little pill. When he figured out he wasn't the center of attention, he decided to make himself at home smack dab in the middle of the program. Not even a piece of chocolate cake - Pearl said her class voted on what treat to have afterwards - could stop the whining, flailing around, and finger sucking. What's up with the finger sucking lately anyway? Ugh. So gross.
Pearl has done so well this year in school. Her behavior was marked outstanding, she read 38 books, made lots of new friends - including a new boyfriend, Rylan (he's holding the letter "S" two kids to the left of Pearl), learned all kinds of things about animals and planets and habitats just to name a few, does simple math problems, identifies simple and complex patterns, and only lost one star on their behavior board the entire year! She is such a smart little girl. Sassy but smart. Just like her momma!
