School

Emmy is having an amazing school year.  I am so happy she was able to get into her pre-K class.  There are only 8 kids in her class, her teacher is great and they are learning so much it is crazy!  She has gone to school with these same kids since she was months old, they are like family!  She comes home each day with her work sheets and 2-3 days a week has homework.  She is reading, writing, learning addition and subtraction, fractions, etc.  She can read about 50 different words, is learning a lot of Spanish, how to count money, read time from a clock count to 100 in 5s and 10s, knows both mine and Josh’s phone numbers by heart and her drawings are amazing!  They take field trips almost weekly, cook together weekly, have a music class, science experiments, have visitors from the community come into their class room and she is learning all about the environment.  A few weeks ago she told me we should really buy an electric car because our car uses gas that goes into the environment and makes the earth hot.  What?!  She also told me that when someone says something and you didn’t hear them the polite thing to say is pardon me?  We no longer can spell out words like the park because she can sound them out.  Damn.  She is having so much fun, I just love seeing her so happy.

Gotta love the cheesy backdrop and props!
