Today at school I officially read.  That’s right, read.  We’ve got these little paper books that have an illustration on one side and the corresponding word on the other.  The practice is to cover the illustration immediately and not steal a glance, sound out the word, say the word and then confirm the word against the illustration.  I’m nailing it people.

My teacher Henta sez that I be rockin’ the keyboard LIKE A BOSS!

Today at school, at approximately 4:10PM, I got my 1st bee sting.  The good news?  Seemingly no Epi-pen or Benadryl needed FTW!

We put our notice in at ELDC today that my last day of school there will be September 10th, 2009.  And then it’s on to Pacific Crest.  Boom Shalak-alaka.

Today the Kookaburras and Wombats boarded metro buses and headed downtown to the Columbia Center, the tallest building in Seattle.  Pretty fascinating stuff and the field trip went off without a hitch.

Week’s Theme:  Structures

For the past two weeks we’ve been learning about buildings and skyscrapers.  Ella enjoyed getting out of the school for a bit on our field trip downtown.  Even more exciting than the Columbia Center for her was the bus ride where she laughed the whole time as the bumps jostled her in her seat.

Ok, so it’s now official:  I am enrolled at Pacific Crest Montessori school for the fall of ‘09 and beyond.  And so the eduventure begins.

Today Mommy and Daddy met with Jackie again, the director at Pacific Crest Montessori, in the run-up for 2009’s fall enrollment.  You may remember that they went through the procedures last year, but ultimately came up short as there was no room for me.

I hear that there meeting went well (as it did last time) and they’ve schedule a classroom observation and inteview visit for me next Tuesday, the 24th of March.  Wish me luck!!

Today Maestra Lorena handed Daddy a report card of sorts when he strolled in to pick me up.  Here is the synopsis of my progress:

Ella is doing great in Spanish.  She is definitely showing me all the vocabulary and songs that they have been learning.  She is alway [sic] eager to learn more vocabulary.  Keep up your great work Ella.

Tonight Daddy read me “Dora and the Easter Egg Hunt” and I correctly named all the colors of the rainbow en Español.  Kicking Spanish ass and taking names bitches!!

The other day ELDC issued a notice that they’d like updated pictures of all the families to display on the Family Tree wall in the entrance of the school. Daddy was feeling a bit cheeky, so he did our new one modeled after a look Queen made popular during their Bohemian Rhapsody video and later recreated during the height of Wayne’s World fever.

Daddy couldn’t resist snapping this pic of amiga Sofia Tiritilli with his phone while dropping me off at school.  In addition to all the paint on the face, please notice that her arms and hands are COMPLETELY BLACK!!
