Growing up



My little Livie is growing so fast. She graduated from pre-school today! Next year she will be going to Kindergarten! I was a little worried sending her, as she will be the youngest in her class (having an August birthday) but she really seems ready! She has excelled academically, and she makes friends in a matter of minutes any where we go. So, I think she will be fine! This is some of what she has learned this year:

*Identify and write the whole alphabet and their sounds
*Say the days of the weeks, months, and seasons
*memorize many nursery rhymes
*sound out basic words
*memorized about 25 sight words
Identify and write #'s 1-20
*count to 50
*basic addition and subtraction
*write full name
*know birthday, phone number, and home address
I know Liv will do great in school! She is so smart like her Daddy and really puts her all into learning. I'm so proud of her!

Sweetheart! Adorable. Smart. Cute. Funny. Advanced. Did I say smart? And cute? I LOVE the pig noses and the picture of her with the fire truck especially. She looks so much like you there, Sarah. Love the graduation cap.

Way to go Olivia! Looks like a fun new playset Sarah! Good job setting it up Brett! Hopefully all the fun the kids have on it will make the hard work pay off. :)

I don't know Brandi- she went to a preschool down the road. They do school in their basement. I don't know if they came up with their own stuff or use a specific curriculum!
