SO-since my last post was about leaving preschool, how fitting that my first post after a long hiatus is about kindergarten! We DID do stuff this summer, it was just so chaotic, that there wasn’t time to fit blogging into the agenda. I’m realizing as the moments keep slipping by so quickly, that there are things I will regret not ‘writing’ down, and thus I have a new found motivation to start blogging again.
Kindergarten got off to a little bit of a rough start for Kelsea. We managed to catch the stomach flu, the weekend before school started, so she missed her first day! THEN, the second day (Kelseas first), her teacher had to literally pry Kelseas arms off my arm so I could ‘get away.’ I walked away to her violently screaming, “NO mom-don’t go!” While her sweet teacher, held onto her to keep her from chasing after me. I actually began contiplating the benefits of homeschooling! 😉
Now after 5 fulls days at school, we have conquered:
-lunch in the cafeteria, including 1 day of ‘buying’ lunch-PIZZA (Kelsea says she wants to buy pizza everyday now-I had to explain to her that’s not exactly how it works!)
-4 day of being on Green (excellant behavior on their behavior chart), and one day of PURPLE STARS! This is for doing something above and beyond, and moving up a notch past excellant!
-Walking to class all alone, while Brady and I watch from the end of the hall.
-Car line at pickup. Well, we’ve almost mastered this. The kids should ideally see their car, and head towards it; however Kelsea has managed to need a ‘helping hand’ each day. She’s so cute, its not like anyone minds holding her sweet hand!
-Her first ‘job’ as a kindergartener. Line Leader! She is very excited to hold this position all week.
Not only the things mentioned above, but today she came home and told me that she prayed at lunch. When I questioned further, she said, ‘Mom, I always pray before lunch; just by myself. Today I prayed for Peanut though, cause she’s sick.’ Oh my-I just couldn’t be more proud. This is going to be a great year! Well see how preschool goes for Brady…more to come on that after Friday!
