cleaning up
Aug. 1st, 2003 01:20 pmMy preschool report card never fails to amuse me. I could do most everything (string beads, use scissors, understand that other children have private property that doesn't belong to me, name colors, and so forth).
Here's what I couldn't do:
Skip
Hold a pencil correctly
Speak in front of a group (very shy)
Speak clearly (talks too fast)
I could evidently count to 69 (apparently, my corruption began early) and I could write numbers, but I wrote 2 backwards and 4 "out of shape."
And that's all.
Pre-kindergarten was a weird time.
edit: In kindgergarten, I could do most everything most of the time, but I still couldn't skip, and I had trouble with holding and using a crayon correctly (though apparently I'd perfected the art of pencil use), tracing a line, and cutting with scissors. And I couldn't tie knots or say the word "ankle."
Poems, age almost 6:
Poems are to Say
Song are to Sing
Books are to Read
You are to Love
Breath is to breathe
Eyes are to see
Noses are to smell
A Heart is to Love
[weird capitalization is my mom's fault, not some weird pseudo- Emily Dickinsonion affectation]
