[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 400062, member: 1514"] Keyana, like my younger two boys, will always be one of the younger kids in her class. She is a summer baby. Cut-off of school entrance is end of September so she headed in to the 4 year old class in August when she was just 4 years and 2 months old and there were kids that were turning 5 in October. So there are kids in her class that have as much as 3/4 of a year on her. That will always be the way it will be. I did teach Keyana to spell her name by singing it to her. I kind of made up this catchy tune and we did it in the car constantly. Kind of sounds like a little cheer...lol. K e y...ana...Keyana! She can write...somewhat legibly, if I start her off with a letter. I have this table that she can use a dry erase marker on so we do one letter at a time. A...apple...a a a a a. Mostly I am working only on capitals right now. Just writing and recognizing them. She actually seems to have some of the numbers down. She can read 1 thru 5 and then 7 9 and 10. she gets confused with the 6 and the 8. However, she did reveal to me that she stood on her head while they were working on their letters and she didnt know how to do it. Hmmm. Me thinks I know why she decided to act up. I explained to her that feet are for standing, tushies are for sitting and heads are for thinking. She also has two ears for listening and one mouth for talking. That means she should listen twice as much as she talks...lmao. Threatened her with me going in to sit with her in class if she continued to act up. She told me oh no, grandma's cant come to class...lmao. One thing that shocked me is that she said her teacher has a paddle if anyone misbehaves. I knew they used to do it down here but I had assumed that had gone by the wayside by now. Guess not. Cory was not happy to hear about that paddle...lol. [/QUOTE]
