Ready to Move On

We had a kindergarten preparedness meeting with Lily's preschool teachers yesterday. Pretty much the only concern is that she is so small. However, they said that they have seen her make great strides in how she interacts with the other kids. Apparently she was very tentative when school first started, but now she jumps in each day with both feet. Academically she is ready. She counted up to 39 for Miss Sue, which is good. I guess we need to teach her about 40, 50, etc. She also can identify all the letters of the alphabet.

Apparently kindergarten moves more quickly than Amanda and I remember. Some kids are reading at the end of it now. They practice writing letters on lines now. I always thought that was more of a first grade thing. Are we moving toward the idea in Star Trek: The Next Generation where a child in elementary school is studying calculus?
