Addie and I are still trucking along when it comes to preschool. Some days she is more excited about doing it than other, but to be honest some days I share her feelings. She continues to improve in all areas. Some areas deserving of special comment lately are:
1. Reading fluency: We continue to read a new “easy reader” each day. She has really learned how to recognize sentence structure (capitalization and punctuation) and uses that to increase her fluency. She recognizes a few dozen sight words now and is able to sound out almost any other words she comes across in her books.
2. Tracing and Cutting: I’ve had her start tracing her own shapes to cut out. The first few days were a little rough, but by day three she had mastered the art of tracing. She also does very well cutting the more detailed shapes (that is when she is not in a hurry).

3. Counting/Sorting/Patterns: Addie is doing very well with her counting. She can now count to 100 by 1’s and 10’s. We have also started counting by 5’s. I think she’ll have that down by next week. We also worked on more sorting rules and identifying patterns. She didn’t miss a single one and even picked up on some sorting rules in her workbooks that I had overlooked.
I may be a little biased, but I think she is one smart cookie!
