Ella is in her final year of preschool before making the move to kindergarten next year. (Mommy is going to have to be put into a padded room!) She loves to tell anyone around that she is in "the smart class" at school. Not really sure where it came from, but I am guessing that her teachers tell them often that they are a smart group of children. :-)
She is flourishing in school this year and we are blessed with a couple of phenomenal teachers. We struggled for a number of weeks with the adjustment - lots and lots of tears for Mommy when I would drop her off. She thought she had me wrapped around her little finger - feeling so very sorry for her. What little miss drama did not realize was that I could see her turn the waterworks OFF the instant she crossed over the threshold from the hallway to the classroom. Little stinker!
Anyway, now that she has gotten that out of her system she's doing beautifully. They are learning to write uppercase and lowercase letters. She works on homework every afternoon. She has even gotten to be the "mystery reader" in class on a couple of occasions because she is reading so well on her own. I am pretty sure she's just trying to keep up with big sisters, so the reading is top on her list of things to learn to do independently.
