Let's go back a few weeks...K started Kindergarten. For the most part she is enjoying it, but she does not like the getting up and going part. We have full day K here, and this girl has never gone to daycare or to school for more than 3.5 hrs so long days are tough on her. We're now 3 weeks in, so I'm hoping the "please don't make me go" stage ends soon. Once she gets up and gets going she is fine. I do think she is a little bored right now though. It sounds like they are spending most time doing assessments.
Assessing letter recognition, number knowledge, etc. most of the day is spent with the kids that aren't at the same level
As the majority, leaving the majority in free play and coloring. So far we've received letters home about Strep and Lice. Both we've avoided so far! 4 kids from her class were out last week with Pneumonia. Ugh. I start volunteering in her cafeteria on the 1st and 4th Friday's this week.
S had a hard time watching his "sissy" leave on the bus, but is loving the one on one time he gets during the day with either Mom or Dad or GiGi. His speech had taken off. He is a total monster though. Recently taking on the joy of throwing things and hitting. When Input him in time out he just laughs at me. When I tell him he was a bad boy and hitting hurts he'll say "I hurt you. It's fun! I do it more!" Awesome! The elementary school K goes to has a Family resource center that has a playgroup on Mondays and Fridays for an hour. I am hoping to adjust my work schedule so I can take S. It's only an hour long. Like a story hour.
I am a recipient of an award at work. Kind of a big deal award. It's called the "delivering the difference" award. I'll be going to a cocktail reception to be awarded by the President and CEO of my company. Pretty big deal. I also was recently enrolled in a leadership 2 yr course that is pretty elite. AND I start a new job on 10/1. Oh yeah, and I am working from home now 4 days a week. Whoa lots happening around here.
