Emma's Preschool Conference

Emma's Preschool Conference with Mrs. Hering confirmed our little girl is growing, learning and the attentive little student we had hoped she was! Mrs. Hering encourages the children to be present for their conference and this way she is able to have them perform skills for us and she is able to tell us all the wonderful things about the children so the children can hear too! Emma performed her Kindergarten readiness evaluation with us in the room and I was so moved by her knowledge and the assurance she had within herself while she worked and answered questions. The skills she performed included, writing, visual discrimination, auditory discrimination, rhyming, letter recognition and letter sequence, phonics, story sequencing, math skills, number recognition,counting objects, number sequencing, numbers in Spanish and pattern recognition, shapes, colors in English and Spanish, and gross motor coordination. Whewww, not bad huh?!

I thought I'd include the additional remarks Mrs. Hering wrote on Emma's evaluation sheet......

Emma is such a bright, sweet, sensitive girl. Even though so much of our work comes very easy to her, she is still eager to learn more and strives to do her best. I love her genuine concern for others. She will do very well in Kindergarten. I will miss her, but look forward to having her brother in my class. ~Donna Hering

Here is a picture of Emma and Mrs. Hering on her first day of preschool in August 2008.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mrs. Hering and the preschool she provides. Emma has had a wonderful year at Trinity Lutheran Preschool! Emma loves going to school and she has flourished academically and socially this past year. There have been 5 children in Emma's class throughout the school year and this provides each child ample attention. Due to the small class sizes, Donna is able to work with each child's current level and personality and really help them individually with their needs. We love the warm, nurturing, christian environment Donna provides!We were so pleasantly surprised when we found Trinity Lutheran Preschool! Donna has exceeded all of our expectations! Emma is growing and learning in a wonderful environment and Donna has provided a great mix of fun, structured play, education and socialization.
