Pre-K 2012-2013

Little Isabella, your journey into Kinder preparedness has come full circle this pre-school year! Like your big sister before you, you have Ms. Jo for pre-K. Your big sissy loved her and we love Ms. Jo.  We thought you would as well. Your first few weeks in that class were a bit rough. And they were tough for us too. You would not tell us why you didn't want to go to school which was a first at NOVA where you have gone since you were a baby. We figured out that since Ms. Jo's style varies from all your previous teachers there; who absolutely spoiled you with affection while you learned, Ms. Jo teaches more independence and tough love. After a month, you and Ms. Jo realized that you both needed to meet each other half way. You let her into your shy self and opened yourself up a little at a time and she welcomed you with open arms every time you made progress. Now, as I write this I can't believe how you both are two peas in a pod and how much more affectionate Ms. Jo has become as a teacher. You are teaching her something and she is teaching you! You shine in that classroom and look forward to telling Ms. Jo about everything and anything, Sweetie!
