Kindergarten...here we come?!

Eric and I had a parent-teacher conference today with Audrey's pre-k teacher. With no concerns with her academic development, I had one question in mind: how does she do with the other kids? Well, before I could ask my question, Audrey's teacher told us about how top notch she is in her current classroom, and how bad she feels that Audrey already knows the curriculum, and of course is the only one in the pre-k room who does not nap.  So, Ms. S asked if we had thought about moving Audrey to the jr. kindergarten/kindergarten class. Well, noooo. But, we thought about it. How she is reading and wanting to do addition and subtraction whenever there is downtime. And mostly how her main group of friends had moved on to the kindergarten room back in August. And we decided it was a good idea for Audrey. As sad as that made me. Especially since it meant she would be at school 5 days/week. No more Mondays at home with her. :(

Oh, and I did ask my question. Clarifying that I was wondering if Audrey is too bossy with the other kids. And I added that she could be honest with us...Ms. S's response? "Audrey has great leadership skills!" Ahh, just as we suspected! :)
