Carolyn's Test

Carolyn's daycare/preschool sent home a test form today.  I thought it would be fun to see what she knows.  I figured there may be a few things that she knows that I wasn't aware of.  Though recently, Matt and I have both mentioned how smart that little stinker is.

Today Carolyn is: 3 years, 7 months (-1 day)

I randomly pointed to letter and asked her if she knew it.  These are the ones she got (I had no clue she could recognize any): Bb ,Cc ,Gg ,Ii ,Jj, Oo, Uu, Ww, Xx, Yy, Zz.

I got out the crayons and she knew: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, white, brown, black, pink and only missed gray.

And her shapes: circle, square, rectangle, diamond, star, and heart.  She missed triangle and octagon both of which I know she had recognized before.  She also missed oval.

She wasn't able to recognize any numbers but when I asked her "Carolyn, how high can you count?" she used her hand to step along imaginary stairs then stood on the couch to get even higher, and told me "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,14,15,16,17,18,19,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,20-10.  Not bad, she missed 13 and 20 and included the too-funny 20-10 :)


Not bad Carolyn Mae!
