School Report

I am relieved to report that it was a great first day of school, despite the teacher coming in later in the day. She told me today that S was the first to greet her with a hug. Yesterday, we heard all about what she did, which is quite the surprise. When she got home, the first thing she did was play teacher and school with her big sister. There was nothing negative at all. When I asked about what she did or what she learned, she said she colored and had recess. What a thrill it was for me to hear that they were doing kindergarten/age appropriate activities. At her old school, they would have been doing math and english worksheets all day. They had music and PE and I heard all about the fun things she did. I am so happy that she will get to experience what kindergarten really is. This school understands that acedemics is not the only thing to focus on. We went to bed early, but it took a while to settle down. She was asleep around 8 and had to get up at 6:40. I had to wake her up this morning and she was very lethargic and sleepy. I was happy to hear her tell me she loved me the first thing this morning. She spent the entire time on the couch, I felt bad for her. We walked into school this morning and she was ready to start her day. I am hoping that she has another great day, she deserves it.
