And so it goes...
Jack is talking more and more everyday. Today he said, "Momma? Go over
dere (there)? Please go now?" Wow! That's a lot of words strung together for a 2 yr. 2 1/2 mo. old. He is a very clear speaker. Reminds me of a little girl I know...
By the way, the talking at school is mostly under control, but she still is a bit chatty from time to time. No idea where she gets it though...Anyway, she is doing so well in school that I wonder if she is chatty due to lack of things to do. Case in point; she brought home a worksheet from school the other day and had it done in one minute and I am not kidding. Eighteen fill-ins and she was right on everyone. If she is doing work that quickly while she is at school, I know why she is talking. She's bored.
I know the school has to bring everyone up to the level where they need to be for 1st grade, but since half of her class DID attend preschool, why are these kids being made to do work that is beneath their ability? It seems unfair either way you look at it. On one hand, you wouldn't want to have the kid that is being left in the dust, on the other hand...you have Lauren and her equally qualified classmates in the high ability courses who are buzzing through the work and then getting bored.
What's a
kindergartner to do?
