Vera is ready for preschool! Patty has worked so, so hard with these cute little preschoolers over the last several years.
They had to take a series of "tests" to see how much they know. When they mastered a skill, they earned a reward for their poster. Vera came home with this awesome poster showing quite of list of skills Patty has helped her master. They also received a cool trophy and a special medal for all of their hard work. Like I say over and over again...Patty just rocks!
Here's all of the preschool/kindergarten skills that Vera's mastered: (We got a cool checklist from Patty. I'm documenting this here because there's no guarantee that I won't lose the checklist.)
)
*Identify upper and lowercase letters
*Sounds from A-Z
*Sound out words
*Alphabet sequence
*Identify numbers 0-30
*Number sequence 0-30
*Count to 50
*Count backwards from 10
*Count from any number to 20
*Count by 10s to 100
*Count by 5s to 100
*One-on-one correspondence
*Number addition to sums of 10
*Greater and fewer / more and less
