Preschool Screening

Emmy had Preschool Screening last week.  She did very well and wasn't shy one bit. 
They tested her vision, hearing and also checked her height & weight.  She is 38" and weighs 34 lbs.
The comments from the screener say, "Easily completed screening, cooperative, followed directions well."

Some of the development areas assessed:
  • Cognitive - Basic concepts...counting, colors and completing sentences.
  • Fine Motor - Small muscle & eye-hand coordination.  Block building, copying shapes, and drawing.
  • Gross Motor - Large muscle activities (hopping/balancing).
  • Speech/Language - Say sounds correctly and ability to use words and sentence patterns.
Emmy played a memory game with the screener and got them all right. 
Overall, she scored 23 out of 25 points.  One of the things she got stuck on was, "A table is made of wood and a window is made of ______."  Emmy looked up at the window and said, "Light."  The screener said it was so cute because she wasn't really wrong - that's what Emmy saw was the light shining from outside. 

She's all set for Preschool in the fall.  My baby is growing up so fast!  :)  She's very excited about going to school.  She tells me that she wants a pink backpack with a princess on it.
