First Day Report...

He was all smiles when he came out yesterday...

He had a great day... got an "Amazing" on his penmanship work...

Which really amazed me... they are now learning how to write using curlys..(he traced the first letter/word in each line and then did the rest on his own!) When I asked him what the best part of the day was he said, "Recess." Lunch was also pretty high up there too. So all in all it was a great day.

This is how we started out this morning...

Had to walk him to his classroom since he wouldn't go through the outside doors... gave his teacher a little heads up and then left... so hard... so very hard. So much for being a Stay at Home Mommy with my goals to raise smart, independent, confident kids that are ready to tackle the world when full time school starts. I asked him what about school was making him cry and he said, "The thing I don't like about school is that I miss you Mommy!"

So hoping this gets easier each day... with Monday being a holiday Tuesday is going to be another rough morning.

Ainsley had a great day... they spent most of the day learning about their new Promethean learning board (which is an interactive whiteboard). The District bought 10 of these and dispersed them throughout the schools and Ainsley's classroom was lucky to get one. She was a non-stop talking about who said what... what so and so looked liked... and gave me a play by play of the whole day.

She was a happy camper as she went off this morning... except for yelling to Walker, "I'm going to get a tardy slip if we don't get going!"
