Lolli's First Report Card!

Lolli got her Pre-K Developmental Profile for the 1st Semester today. Lauren was nervous to open it because Lolli wasn't even in the pre-k for the 1 semester, so it seemed likely that her report would have several gaps in it.

But NOPE! There was only ONE area that she was marked down as lacking in. Which means she has officially mastered:
Saying her first and last name
Recognizing her name
Knowing how old she is
Knowing her address
Knowing her phone number
Knowing her birthday
Holding a pencil correctly
Holding scissors correctly
Gluing neatly
Spelling her name
Printing her first name
Knowing 8 basic colors: red, yellow, blue, orange, green, purple, brown and black
Working simple puzzles
Counting to 20
Completing AB patterns
Sorting objects
Identifying groups of more than, less than, equal to
Recognizing number 1-10 in random order
Knowing 6 basic shapes: square, rectangle, triangle, oval, circle, diamond
Associating numbers to groups (counting how many)
Recalling familiar nursery rhymes, poems, songs, finger plays and bible verses
Understanding the progression of a book
Tracing letters and numbers
Recognizing all upper case letters in random order
Recognizing all lower case letters in random order
Walking forwards, backwards and sideways
Imitating body movements
Running, jumping, galloping and hopping
Balancing on one foot

Ms. Linda has Ms. Jeana fill out the social/emotional part of the report since Lolli's still new in Ms. Linda's class. She received 1's on everything (on a scale of 1-4, 1 being the highest):
Accepting and responding to teacher's authority
Listening with understanding
Working and playing cooperatively with fellow classmates
Following directions in a group setting
Recognizing others' personal space
Accepting responsibility for her personal belongings and classroom materials
Accepting responsibility for her actions
Sharing and taking turns
Participating in group activities
Understanding and obeying school rules
Having an appropriate attention span for her age group
Following easy two- to three-step directions
Showing an active interest in classroom activities
Having personal self-esteem and confidence
Bring remorseful when she does something wrong

The only "no" she received was: understanding the basic calendar concepts (days of the week, months, year etc).

Yay, Lolli!!!

Yes!

Poppy just said "Yes!" instead of "Wes!" Thought it was a fluke but she followed it up with "yeah" and "yellow" as opposed to "weah" and "lellow". Woohoo!

Poppy's day at school

Poppy solemnly informed us that all the kids were running around in her classroom today so her teacher turned the lights out and the whole class got a time out. She said she told her teacher she was sorry, but that it really wasn't too bad because during the time-out she sat on the butterfly rug, her favorite spot.

"Mom, just eat a pacifier!"

Poppy accidentally bounced on my belly. I said, "Ouch, that hurts the baby!" which prompted Lolli to suggest I eat a pacifier so the baby won't cry in there.
