Grace graduated from Pre-K with in May with excellent remarks from her teacher. She is spelling, writing and recognizes numbers and letters. This summer we are working on spelling and reading. We just started reading The Secret Garden.
She was in a play at school, the only child chosen from her class and was Clara Schumann on History Day and told about Clara's life and music. I made her costume and then donated it to her school. Her dance recital on a Friday was followed by her violin recital on Monday. So Jim and I had a weekend of culture. In dance she takes tap, ballet and hip hop. She has the moves and the rhythm and hip hop is her thing. She and all the other violin students really surprised us, they were all very good for their level. I think it is great tht children have so many opportunites to explore and learn so many things but I do worry that all these activities don't leave alot of time to just be a kid and do kid things. On the days that she is with us we try to relax and play.

How wonderful that Grace gets so much of the arts tho'. Too often the arts are given short shrift. I think culture adds so much joy to life too. Miss Grace is lovely! Lucky you! K Q:-)
