4 yr. Preschool (4 years 10 month)

Bennett started his 4 year old Preschool this fall.  He is loving it again this year.  And boy oh boy has he grown up and matured since last year!  Both of the teachers have told me this over the past couple months and my mom has also come home from school with stories from his teachers saying the same thing.  I'm proud of how great he is doing.

Every week they are concentrating on a different letter in the alphabet.  Every week we have a letter page to do at home where we find things that begin with that letter and glue on the page.  I don't really get any magazines so we've been using Internet clipart alot to help us with this.  He does not get the concept that Apple begins with A etc. but by the end of the week with that letter it seems he is starting to pick up that letters sound.  He just finished up H week.

He is doing a great job at writing letters now too!  He has learned to write every letter in his name now...not hard when he only needs to learn 4 letters :-).  And he is learning to write the letters of the week also.

He loves cutting, gluing, painting and he's starting to get more of a liking of coloring.  He isn't really a drawer yet and only draws faces, which take up the whole page which means we all have very short legs and arms haha.

He is singing constantly!  This is a huge change from last year.  He does sing and participate in his class now but I'm still curious if he'll actually sing in front of a group like in front of church.

We just recently found out that his school is changing their Kindergarten program to a all day, every day Kindergarten verses M-W-F which it always has been.  Boy will that be a change for us next year!...going from 5 hours a week to 5 days a week!  He is doing a great job this year and it has been fun to watch him get excited about it.  He loved going last year too but this year he's seems like a big boy rather than a little 3 year old.
