Taylor's first week of Dolphins (Kindergarten Prep)

This week Taylor started her Dolphin class which she was so excited for! She has been talking about being a Dolphin and getting ready for Kindergarten for months now. A few of her friends moved over in June so she has been ready. She's been doing worksheets in a Preschool prep workbook, saying that it's her book that's getting her ready for Kindergarten. So cute!

So, she started this week and she has come home with new skills already! As I told her teachers (when emphasizing that I wanted her in one of the advanced classes), she will only learn as much as she is presented with and that is shown this week. She went in on Monday being able to write some letters of her name, all capitals, but not really in a line or in perfect order. On Wednesday she came home (her first full day in that class) writing her name in all capital letters on one line, in order, on multiple worksheets that they did throughout the day. She wanted to show us how she could do it and vuah-lah! That night I asked if she has started to write lowercase letters and she didn't really know what I was talking about. She was just proud of what she was showing us! On Friay, the NEXT DAY, she came home and told us she had something to show us. She got a marker and a paper and wrote her name in upper and lowercase letters, wonderfully! One day learning...truly awesome!

I am so proud of our girl and she's not even 4!!! I can't explain how happy I am to see her succeed and excel. I see her potential and can just imagine her success and happiness in life. More important than us being proud of her, she is proud of herself and excited to show us what she can do. It's just awesome. I'm a happy mommy right now.
