George went to Lorelei's conference on his way to work this morning. It was at 8AM.
According to Mrs. P----, Lorelei is doing very well. She's on the cusp of being considered talkative, but because it's kindergarten and there is that social importance she said it hasn't been a big issue. She told George that she would consider Lorelei advanced in the area of the alphabet --recognition and sounds -- for this stage of kindergarten. While the kids need to be familiar with about 6 letters, Lorelei is only not familiar with about 6. She said whatever we're doing at home is obviously working for her development so we should continue. Of course, having Caleb at home learning how to read, sound out words, and spell has only made Lorelei learning them that much easier. She can count to 29 and knows the six basic shapes. We need to work on recognizing the main color words and she needs some work on patterns and writing her first name correctly. She still likes to mix capitals and lowercase letters. :)
Overall, I would say that first quarter is a huge thumbs up on all accounts!
