Goodbye circle time, hello common core

Portia's culminating in seven days! No more day care.  Good-bye half-day programs.  She's on her way to full days and I'm on my way to freedom.  I'll be FREE, FREE, FREE...unless she falls victim to the common core hysteria. Although, I know she'll excel just like her big brothers. 

I'm proud of all the work she's done this year, on herself and in school, developmentally and socially. Open house was a true testament of her love for school, friends, and teachers.  

So....Let's take a closer look...

Portia has decided she wants to be a fashion designer when she grows up.  What's wrong with being a veterinarian?

She's fearless.

yet delicate.

She's not money savvy.

But she makes a mean turtle.

She thinks her best asset are her fingers because, "I like wearing rings.  They help me touch things I like, like my dog, Pickles."

Even at school she thinks of her brothers often.

Portia taught me a new word: Amate.
