Soaring Bird

The kids have been learning all about Indians & Thanksgiving at preschool. We brought pillow cases, shoe boxes, & paper towel rolls to school & the kids made Indian dresses with headdresses out of the pillow cases, rain sticks out of the paper towel rolls, a drum out of the shoe boxes & then they made necklaces, too! Each child was given an Indian name; Chloe is Soaring Bird. If it is not raining next week, we will be taking a fieldtrip to Indian Grinding Rock. Also, I had my first parent-teacher conference with Chloe's teacher last Tuesday and Chloe is doing great!! She has practically mastered all her reading readiness & has improved so much on being social that it is astounding! She does good at following directions & her coloring is much more than scribbling. Well, I could go on & on about Chloe & her awesome report but it boils down to this: the report Chloe's teacher does is a pretty comprehensive report, a Kindergarten readiness report, and it states that she is almost at Kindergarten entry level and she is only 3.5 years old!! We are so proud of our bear cub...way to go Chlo-meister!!:)
