Paige went to Kindergarten Round-Up at the Catholic School and Prep/Kdg. Round-Up the Elementary School the end of March.
She is probably going to attend the Catholic School but, she had to go to the Prep Round-Up because when we had her Pre-school parent/teacher conference, the Pre-school teachers recommended she go to Prep (which is Pre-K) next year and go to Kindergarten the year after. They are basing it on her birthday, which is August 28th, only 2 weeks before the cut-off, and the fact that they think she is not ready for Kindergarten. Apparently, she's too bossy and that is a sign of social immaturity. I told the teacher I thought it showed signs of leadership. I don't think she bought that. Besides, what do they expect? She is bossy! She also needs to work on her fine motor skills like cutting and writing. The next day Paige got some new scissors and some workbooks. I'm starting to think that the teacher's don't want to "teach" the kids anymore, the kids are just supposed to know everything.
I agree she's not ready for Kindergarten, but I don't think they'll let her in high school yet!!
