I met with Joey's teacher. She gave me a folder with all the work she has been working on with him in the last few weeks. She wanted to see what he has learned. She says he is ready for kindergarten. He knows his letters, colors, number, shapes, and any other thing he should know. She said that he is one of the brightest kids she has taught. He picks up on things really easy and he has a joy of learning. She also said that of the 10 kids in the class he is very worried about others. For example, if he notices that she is not smile, he will come sit next to her and say "Are you mad?" She will tell him whatever and then he will come back to check on her later.
She ask all the kids what they want to be when they grow up. Joey told her that he wants to be a nurse and will go to UWF to college. He started saying he wants to be a nurse in January and he hasn't changed his mind one time. He went to UWF a few weeks ago to Festival on the Green and fell in love with the place. Who knows? I said when I was younger than him that I wanted to be a nurse.
We don't know if Luke will ever be ready for kindergarten. He is so smart, but he doesn't want to prove it to you like Joey. It is hard to figure out what he knows sometimes, but then when he tells you watch out he will shock you with his knowledge.
