Winter is one smart cookie. This spring she was tested for the PALS program. PALS is the gifted and talented program for the county we live in. While I knew she was smart, and remarkable, and amazing, and all the things a mother would think of her child...I had no idea that she is by far one of the smartest little girls her age. She tested with a 94%, which means out of 100 students her age she is smarter than 94 of them. She has been reading at a second grade level since the middle of Kindergarten and I'd bet she is pushing that level even higher. There aren't many word she can't figure out and her flow is smooth and steady. Her hand writing is atrocious, but she can read for sure. Her neighbor hood school just wasn't going to challenger her enough and help her reach some of that full potential. So we decided not to enroll her in the PALS program but instead the French Immersion program where she will spend half her day learning subjects in French and the other half learning in English. She is very excited. She is drawn to anything French or Parisian. Her back to school clothes included a beret. At 6 years old she is friendly, outgoing, loves to make new friends, enjoys learning about everything, but particularly the stars and outer space right now. She is her fathers child to be sure. I love and adore her so much. I can't believe she is in first grade, I remember being in first grade. Have fun baby girl!
