Hi, I went to my daughters nursery parents evening yesterday, and was amazed at what she's learning and how much she knows.
The teacher said she knows all her flat shapes and now were introducing cube, cuboid, cylinder and sveere. (no idea how to spell that one).
Anyway, I was a bit I had to go home and look up what a cuboid was.
That evening when we were having dinner, I said to my daughter what shape is your glass? She looked at it, then said very proudly "a cylinder", then she said "and a circle on the top and this is a reclangle, (her place mat).
She was so excited to show me what she knows. She has a speech disorder so I've probubly been underestemating her.
Apparently, she'll take a lead role in playing and will stand up in front of the class and talk about a toy she's bought in.
(I never had that much confidence!) and my speech was perfect. I am so proud of her, mostly for the fact that she is so thoughtful and caring but it's made me realise that perhaps I underestemate her and do things for her that she's quite capable of doing her self. I always undress her at bed time for example but last night I said "can you take your clothes off please" and she did, she also looked really proud of herself.
I'm just worried that if I have to look up things she's learning now, how will I cope when she's in the primary school ??
