Kindergarten testing

This week is kindergarten testing for The Girlchick.  Since she went to a private kindergarten she has to be tested to see if she knows everything (which according to her she always knows everything since her standard answer to anything you tell her is "I know") that she is supposed to know before she can go into first grade.  They have been giving them prep tests and pretend tests for about a month now to prepare them to take this test.  She goes to a Montessori school so their methods are a little different and they do not do the standard testing like public schools.  So they try to put them into the situation with the pretend tests and get them comfortable. 

She has struggled last week with this.  She gets bored very quickly and has a hard time sitting still and focusing.  She makes all sorts of noise and disrupts the class, she doesn't listen to the full questions the teachers are asking her so she gets wrong answers since she answers what she thinks they are asking.  But last week was really bad - she actually kicked one of her friends and shoved another one and had to be carried to the office two times kicking and screaming in a full on tantrum.  It's very frustrating, she has been doing so well lately.  I don't know if it's the stress of the upcoming tests or what.  But we have been trying to talk to her that she needs to listen, needs to focus and concentrate on just her own work.  I'm worried that she is just going to blow the test because she can't follow the rules and instructions.  I told her that if she doesn't pass that she has to repeat kindergarten all over again and do nothing but the same easy work over.  Not sure if any of us got through to her but we will see in the next few weeks if she passes this test.

Ready to have her school pictures taken
