Miss Tori Goes to Preschool

September 2 marked a very important day for Tori--it was her first day of preschool. After watching her older siblings doing their school work for the past few years, she was excited about starting school herself. Jenny found some "get ready for kindergarten" workbooks online and bought the whole series (a total of 19 workbooks!) for Tori to work through. Some of the concepts she will learn are same vs different, colors, alphabet recognition, beginning phonics, number recognition and other simple mathematical skills. Each day she and Jenny discuss what day of the week it is and what the weather for that day is. Not only is she learning some important early learning concepts, she's having a wonderful time in the process and finding out that school is fun!
