Here comes the graduate!

Ellie's whole class... Nora, Max, Ryan, Ellie, Gavin, Casey, Joelle, Jayla, Robert, Takara, Ellis, Noah, and Ms. Robin.She did it! Ellie graduated from her first year of pre-K!
In case you are wondering, she will be going to pre-K again next year. Her birthday falls after the cut off date, Sept 1st, for Baltimore County schools. I could have her tested in to kindergarten but why rush her? She is only young once and she has the rest of her life to grow up fast. Academically, she is a super star! She is doing simple addition and subtraction, beginning to tell time, working on reading and writing. I couldn't ask for more! So, next year we will just be even more ready for big school.
I couldn't be more proud!!
