the school just called me – the office ladies had heard that i was emailing gabby’s pre-k teacher from last year with questions.....so, they wanted to go ahead & let me know they’re sending out her acceptance letter today!!!
she didn’t get into either of the 2 acceptance rounds (hence, the reason that i was emailing gabby's teacher - since we didn't get a letter the week after i knew the 2nd round of letters were to go out) – but apparently, there were 3 slots left (from those who applied, but now aren’t coming - for whatever reason) & she got into one of those slots!!!! :0)
i was so nervous - the same thing happened with gabby last year.....both my girls r so darn smart! here, they let the kids in, based on need - the whole point of pre-k is to get them ready for kindergarten & i totally get that.....but corinn has had her heart set on going to school since the day she turned 4 (cause we always told her she could start school once she turned 4 & she took that literally!).....last week, we'd talked about the possibility of her not getting to go this year & how she'd just continue at miss stephanie's until kindergarten & that made her so sad - it broke my heart
but now, no worries - she gets to go! i can’t wait to pick her up in an hour & surprise her with the news!!!
going to call the pedi right now & get her physical scheduled! whoo hoo!

Sweet! Bristel would LOVE to go to school too...mommy's just not ready yet. Maybe next year? Altho we're modifying...and Grams' doing a 3 day a week-er. Word is...Bri's already givin' her lip. Every time Grams asks who the teacher is...Bristel says "ME!" lol
Gotta love girls w/brains! *smile*

whoohooo for Gabby!!! Let us know what her reaction was when you told her!
That's awesome! Yay Gabby! Isn't preschool wonderful. It really helps build confidence and indepenence. Out here the K's are so demanding. They expect you to have all pre-reading skills (phonics and site words) and basic reading, colors, shapes, basic math, basic writing skills (name, three word sentences). I don't remember that being a prereq when I started K!! What happened to singing the ABC song and learning how to tie shoes?
I don't know what I would do with out preschool. My kids started early, both boys began at 2 1/2-3. It's great that they have the specialized programs in our area for kids with Autism.
thx guys - it's actually Corinn that's starting pre-k this year....sorry if i confused u by talking about emailing Gabby's teacher from last year (when she was in pre-k)....gabby actually starts kindergarten this year :0)
and shanna - i know, right?! i was amazed when jaden started kindergarten (he didn't go to pre-k) & i found out all that they needed to accomplish by the end of the year to move onto 1st grade - i was completely dumbfounded!
