Somehow, you've already been in school for 4 weeks!?!! I don't remember much from when I was in Kindergarten...so here are some notes to help you remember your first weeks (in case you're "blessed" with a memory like mine):
You picked out a Spiderman lunch box a few days before school started and we've packed your lunch every day so far this year. I've asked you if you wanted to buy your lunch but you are a big fan of packing. However, you do want to buy ice cream every Friday and it's a treat that we allow.
Your teacher, Mrs. Green, had to miss the first week of school due to her son-in-law passing away in an accident the day before school started. Mrs. Sweitzer, a substitute, had the exhausting task of getting your class off to a great start. Mrs. Green returned the second week of school only to have to leave again for back surgery. I'm not even sure if you realize that Mrs. Sweitzer isn't your actual teacher!?!
Daddy drives you to school every morning (unless he has a scheduling conflict -- and Grandma takes you in those cases) since buses aren't offered for our neighborhood. But you have a new friend who walks to school every morning so you've let us know that you want to be walked to school too!
(FIRST DAY!)
You attend ESD after school and love it! Since you don't have homework, you get to spend the whole afternoon playing until I pick you up around 5:00. You were pretty tired that first week each time you got in the car but your energy levels have returned to normal since then.
The nurse has only called us once so far - and it was for a bee sting that you got out at recess. You seem to be making friends and you recognize people almost every time we go out ("Hey, there's another kid from my school!"). I've already noticed areas where you're improving! Your coloring is neater and you are picking up a few sight words (on, the, and)!
June 5th will be here before we know it!
