Anna just finished her first year of preschool!! She had a really great year with a wonderful teacher - Miss Kochan. She started off the year with little to no fear, seemed to make friends very quickly (especially considering that was what I was most worried about), and further developed her love of learning. She can now count to over 100, she can talk to others with relative ease, and she has quite a good imagination! I love listening to Anna play by herself. Things she liked best about this year:
~The "dowl" house (doll house). At least for the first part of the year
~Books on CD, in particular "Storm is Coming!"
~Having a job, especially the calendar helper
~Library. Hearing her act out Three Billy Goats Gruff is priceless.
~Art center. She has developed a deep love for stickers!
Apparently Anna has also impressed the teachers with her knowledge of Beatles songs. She has been asked to sing them for a number of the teachers, including the 4 yr old teacher and the kindergarten teacher! I asked her which ones she sang, and she said, "Eight Days a Week and the 'Da da da da da dum dum da' song," which is From Me to You :-)
Her celebration on the 22nd was a lot of fun. She got to play lots of games, including a whipped cream eating contest, a race to put on cowboy clothes and ride her horsie to the finish line, Bozo buckets, etc. Then she got on stage and did a couple songs and prayers for us, which was super cute. I'm so glad she had such a great year at school.
