The Dust Catcher 1

Aug

2012

Our preschool mornings (read: every weekday morning) is usually full of rush-rush-rush, punctuated by my frequent (and frustrated) calls of, “Come on, you’re going to be late!!” Keeping TLE focused on the morning routine is a constant struggle. It got better once we set a predictable routine but both TLE and I are prone to wandering ...

Preschool Update 2

Jan

2012

I recently attended my first Parent-Teacher conference at TLE’s preschool. I’ve been to other Parent-Teacher conferences at TLE’s other school so this isn’t a new experience. Neither, it seems, is the report. Gross motor and fine motor skills are either age appropriate or above though she still only scribbles and doesn’t really draw anything recognizable ...

TLE the Preschool Revolutionist

Sep

2011

(If you’re wondering what in the world TLE is doing, she’s impersonating a Weeping Angel who, according to her, are the scariest baddies in Doctor Who. I’m just sort of amazed that I’ve managed to turn her into a Whovian at the age of three. This has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of ...

So today, I met with her current program coordinator, early intervention coordinator and a representative from the district’s special education program to discuss beginning the ...

Preschool home school 1

Sep

2010

In light of The Little Empress’ recent assessment, The Hubs ™ and I have been reconsidering TLE’s schooling options. Interestingly, even though I’d said I didn’t want to home preschool, it looks like I am going to be doing so anyway. I do still intend on sending her to the co-op preschool but we’ve decided ...

Prelude to School

Mar

2010

Whew! I haven’t been to this much school since I graduated! I had to bring TLE’s immunization records and fill out some paperwork before she officially starts school next week. The director suggested bringing TLE along to let her get a better feel for her future classmates. As soon as we walked up to the ...
