Things are going well for my DD. She is in a half-day program (2.5 hours) that so far is play based - legos, blocks, writing center, kitchen, floor for games, cars and has recess. They haven't even tried to tackle any phonics (at least not yet).

At home, she just finished reading Pippi Longstocking & asked to do multiplication again yesterday.

We have a regularly scheduled parent-teacher conference in mid-Oct. and we will try to chat with the teacher about what she sees ahead in 1st grade. We are just happy that she looks forward to going to school & think it's probably better that they don't appear to be teaching anything! wink
