Bragging Moment

Be forewarned that this is a post where I get to brag about my daughter. It may get kind of sappy but I am so proud of her that I had to write it down and share it.

At this stage of the year in kindergarten kids are expected to know the standards such as all 52 letters of the alphabet (upper & lower case) and be able to count to 99. Beeb has been working on these at home and can not only meet the standards but is exceeding them in many areas.

Here's the bragging part of what Beeb has achieved:

Count to 200 and beyond (only needs to go to 99 for school)
Identify all the letters in the alphabet (upper & lower)
Identify all the letter sounds of the alphabet
Knows all the high frequency site words (only needs to know 10 for school):
I, see, the, like, you, me, up, in, my, to, said, go, do, yes, am, and, at, a, is, on, it, no, can, did, are
Prints her own name legibly (first and last)
Writes words using at least 2 correct letter sounds consistently
Reads aloud numbers through the hundreds (only needs to go to 20's for school)
Orders numerals through hundreds (only needs to go through 1-10 for school)
Identifies and extends a 4 & 6 part pattern (only needs to go through 2 & 3 parts for school)

In addition she has passed off:
Counting to 100 by 5's and 10's
Counting backwards from 20 (we are working on backwards from 50 right now)
Her art work is always a 4 (the highest level of detail) thanks to her weekly art lessons from Ms. Kori.

To say that Beeb loves school is a gross understatement. Beeb LOVES and LIVES for school. She is always excited for Sunday night so she can go back to school the next day and school breaks are spent questioning me as to how many more days until school starts again.

We are so proud of Beeb and her academic accomplishments. I pray that her enthusiasm for school lasts another 18 years (through her Masters degree).
