The takeaway was that Anya is chomping at the bit for Kindergarten. Her teachers say that she is very interested in learning and has great focus - she wants to absorb everything and asks lots of questions. I'm thrilled to hear this, since when I see her in sports-type classes, she doesn't listen to the instructors very well and does her own thing.
Another thing I asked about and am happy to hear is that she is patient with the younger children in the mixed-age class. On playdates, we've had some issues with her being rather mean to the younger siblings, so I was concerned she might act that way with other young kids. Her teachers say that Anya doesn't really pay much attention to them, but when they ask for a big kid volunteer to assist a younger kid or hold their hand, she usually offers. Since I mentioned the playdate issues, though, the teachers will give Anya more opportunity to work on relationships with younger kids. Have I mentioned I love her teachers?
