Karlie's First Day of Preschool.....

[DianaB]

Gayle, I've never heard of a Montessori school but that does sound like what Karlie needs to be in. We live in such a small town that things like that aren't available to us. This winter I think that I'll try and get some stuff together and work with her. I taught Jaci preschool to 4th grade. I could surely come up with some things to challenge her.

Diana! That is such a great idea - of course you could!!! I understand about living in a small town - I did too! I did not even have the opportunity to take geometry in high school, so when I went to take the ACT (equivalent of the SAT test for college), I had a miserable score on the math portion because I didn't know geometry!!! There are many many wonderful things about living in a small town and I wouldn't trade that experience for anything, but there are disadvantages. You can certainly create a wonderful learning environment for Karlie!!!

Montessori schools are wonderful, one of my cousins teaches in one. Diana, I'm sure with all the educational materials available, and your homeschool experience, she will do very well.

The little school girl!!! They do love preschool! I think it's a wonderful experience.

Jessie went when she was about 3 years old too. They need to play with children their own age at that point. I bet Karlie is the smartest little one in her class. You will enjoy teaching her Diana.

Does she have a little bookbag?

She doesn't have a book bag yet, but Dae Lynn is looking for one.

I know, I know!!

I guess that Dae Lynn told her that she really didn't want to see her baby go to preschool. Karlie came right back at her that she didn't want to see her Mommy go to work either. I tell you we can NEVER stay ahead of this child!!!!!
