Imagine her joy

Avery started preschool today...Imagination Station is the place to be. She is beyond thrilled. She loves school. So much so, that when she was invited to join the smaller but accelerated class we jumped at the chance. She was happy to have more "journal time! This is my child that goes to bed with flash cards in hand. Now, I'm not kidding myself -I know the cards are only a novelty- a chance to feel like the "big kids"...but, hey it's a start. Good practice. I did notice during "Back to School" night that Avery could use more time at home practicing her coloring. Yep, coloring. Her little self portrait was not as carefully detailed as I would of expected. In fact, at first she scribbled the face! What! Very quietly I asked her if she wanted a "do over." Yes, she thought about it, she would like to add a face. Moments later her purple person was very simple and done. She was ready to move on. She would rather be quizzed on her spelling words. Again, just good practice.
