That was what Chloe said to me.. tonite before she went to bed. I was most certainly pleased with that statement.. because there was no prompting from my part.

An update on what Mrs Fuller the Resource, Reading Recovery & 6P Sci/Hlth teacher said.. was that there were certain instructions that Chloe didn’t understand.. like “under & above” (Kate tested her tonite. .and she could tell Kate exactly what was under her bed .. and above) and also she said Chloe doesn’t know our address .. and only knows that she lived in a white house. Chloe also don’t know our phone # or the emergency # like 911. But you see we never taught her that.. because she is always with us..!!! At 4.5 yrs old.. would you expect your kid to know all these..??

She also claimed that Chloe don’t know the words for certain colors. For example if she pointed to “red color” . .chloe would say … “i forgot” or ” i don’t know” .. which is pretty strange.. because she never had a problem with it .. when she is around us. But they want to continue to monitor .. and make sure she doesn’t lagged behind .. or something to that effect.. and will come back to us again. Oh . .and she can’t cut properly (we never let her use scissors .. so that is our bad).

I have yet to address the remark she made to her form teacher about “does Chloe speak in English at home?” I don’t really want to make a mountain over a molehill and become a mountain turtle.. but i had shown the email to a few mothers.. and they felt the same way as I .. but PB of course doesn’t think so .. *shrug* ..! MEN..!

Chloe is pretty much settled into her school routine.. and enjoys waking up every morning to go to school now. This was taken this morning.. but with me.. being very heavy heart. We were told some time during the school and meet a few weeks ago.. that Chloe will be joining a special class to improve her motor-skill and that was alright with us.. because really she didn’t do much of cutting and pasting.. with us except lots of drawing.

She said she has gotta shake her bum, bum first before going to school here. Anyhow.. her teacher sent home some paperwork for her French resource teacher to evaluate where Chloe is academically. One of the question that her french resource teacher asked was “does Chloe speaks in English at home?” I found that truly disturbing .. because Chloe only speaks English.. at home… and everywhere. And you’ve all heard chloe on videos I’ve taken.. albeit.. sometimes.. she ain’t too clear .. but hey..!! she is only 4 yrs and 9 months old eh. I don’t think i even spoke half as well as she did.. at her age… plus being super cute too.

This is Chloe saying . .i’m still tired. Anyhow.. I’ll be calling the Resource teacher today.. to see what her concerns are.. and help her to understand Chloe a little better. I know.. that my daughter.. is not slow nor stupid… she is just pretty young.. but definitely raring to learn.. and experience.. and go. And i can see that she enjoys her school so much. She is just a delighted lil’ kid.
