Assessment

Thursday es and I finished the paper chain that shows how many days till her birthday.  She decorated many of the strips, I did a few, and some were blank.  I think we started too soon; she seemed to lose interest, perhaps because we had so many strips.  But it is done and hanging in the family room now, orange, green, yellow and white links against the brown cupboard.

Yesterday E met with her teachers at the daycare center to discuss assessment results.  Soon es will transition to the T2 classroom.  This will occur over a two-week period, with a little more time each day spent with the new teacher, room and class.  Not surprisingly, the biggest challenges for es are sharing and following directions willingly.  I found it interesting to see how her teacher's observations differed from mine regarding sentence length and naming colors and shapes, but I observe just one child and not in a testing situation.  But she seems to be on track, a "normal" three-year-old.

This morning I play for a memorial service, then we go to EK's for a pre-Thanksgiving dinner.  E expects about a dozen guests for turkey and all the trimmings.  I'm taking dressing and cranberry cake.
