Lexi finished her second week of kindergarten and is loving it. She asked if she could buy lunch this week, so she did. She enjoyed telling me what she ate every day. I am hearing about more and more friends as well as kindergarten social dynamics (funny). They are learning how to tell time on a regular clock (with hands), practicing hand-writing, learning the alphabet in sign language, and lots of things.
They are also working on the 50 site words that she needs to know by the end of the year. She can read all of the words, but they need to be able to look at each one and say it without sounding it out and within three seconds. She has just a few that she doesn't recognize immediately. She'll have them down soon though. Then, she gets to move onto the 1st grade 100 site words. When she passes those off, she moves onto the computer accelerated reading program. Now, I KNOW that they will be able to keep her entertained without too much "baby stuff."
