Kindergarten Assessment

I witnessed perhaps THE cutest assessment ever today - Aaron's. He told me that he was a little nervous while we were on our way in ... but, as he began realizing what a genius he is, his nerves subsided more and more. So, the first part of the assessment was pretty easy for him ... basically repeating phrases, saying his name and birthday, and recognizing letters and numbers. Then it got harder - but he still did FABULOUS. His teacher (Mrs. Glass) asked him if he could read. He quickly shook his no. So she showed him her two pages of words and started pointing to them. He pretty much knew every single one (the, a, I, can, look, see, he, we, am, and -- you get the jist), then she turned the page over to the back where the harder words were. He knew ALL of them (well, in his mind, anyway). At this point, he was so confident, he pulled out his finger to slide past the letters as he read. I can't remember what he said for most of them, but for the word dash, he sounded out .... "baaaaandaaaaggggge". Honestly, if I wasn't so dam proud - I would have been laughing out loud. He was so dang cute! When she gave him a bucket of colorful tiles and told him to make his own pattern, he looked at me like, "this is just ridiculous, Mom, " and preceded to pull out any random tile and plunk it down on the table. He did NOT rearrange them in any specific order - just left them as randomly as he pulled them out. The teacher hesitated for awhile, and then asked him if he was done. He very proudly said, "sure am!" heehee - gotta love him! Mrs. Glass reassured me that he would do great in kindergarten. I'm not worried. :)
