Kindergarten Update

Johnny's 4th Day of Kindergarten: he seems to like it but is having some trouble adjusting to such a serious routine. These kids learn about capital case and lower case letters in Kindergarten. Very heavy on the academics. Not like when we were kids and fought over the crayons. LOL

They have this behavior system and it's very strict, Johnny was on Yellow Alert his third day! Eek! Apparantly he was humming and stuff during class. I had always thought it was an adorable affectation but not in school. ouch. And he needs to focus more during the lessons. But the third day he was GREEN! He was so excited, he showed Matt and me. So maybe it'll work out.

Charlie's first day of school is Monday. That should be interesting. Watching his interaction with the teacher when she came over was like watching Helen Keller learn to sign language. Very painful.

These teachers don't play, these kids are in for a world of hurt. But it's good for them. I've probably been too soft, to easy going etc.

Work is ok. Trying a 9-6 shift tomorrow, will let me sleep in later in the mornings.

Night!

Is it good for them? I'm not sure of that. I remember kindergarden being fun, playing, and adjusting....they don't let you do that any more. I think it's a shame.
