Forgot to mention yesterday--while they were doing a presentation to the adults, the teacher was talking about the standardized tests that they will be giving the students. They are required to take them before entering kindergarten, so the preschool program preps them for the test, then administers the test for you. They take the test in the fall to find out what they need to improve on, then retake it officially in the spring. She used an example that if they know 5 letters of the alphabet in the fall, they hope to see improvement to maybe 20 by the spring. I just about fell out of my chair. John and I could only stare at each other and try to refrain from laughing our heads off. I managed to not blurt out that our smarty pants has known the entire alphabet for more than 2 years. Hopefully they can still manage to find something to teach him.
fyi-there are new pictures on the Mealey pics sharing site in case anyone didn't sign up for updates.
