a Penny post

You might remember how Penny has been going to school. Monday night she had her 5th class out of 6. She has learned SO much. And so have we!

Next week, she has her final test. She may not be very nervous about it, but we sure are.  I mean, I guess it's kind of a test for us too...to make sure we don't suck as teachers. But a lot of it depends on Penny, and hopefully she'll be in a good mood next Monday! 

If she does well, she'll have the option of going to the intermediate class. We aren't sure if we are going to take her or not yet.

She'll be tested on some of the skills she's worked on for the past 6 weeks:

1. Sit and greet a stranger (definitely need to work more on this...she gets too excited)
2. Here (she's great at this one)
3. Down (she's good)
4. Wait (she'll wait to eat a treat right next to her until we tell her she can)
5. Leave it (she's getting better at this one)
6. Stay (for at least 15 seconds in a sit position not breaking eye contact...yeah this is the hardest one)
7. Watch me (she does well)
8. Place (she is getting the idea)

So, I'll let you know next week if Penny passes her test and we'll be sure to get some pictures of her graduation!
