It is hard to believe the kids have now been in school for two weeks. The time is just flying by! Except for getting up very early every morning, this has been a nice change for us all. The kids really like their teachers and are making new friends. Our conversations at dinner are now about what did you do in reading and math today, what was your favorite activity today, who ate what for lunch, and who misbehaved and got their name on the board. So far, the teachers have just been reviewing, so all of the material is very easy for the kids. We will see as time progresses how they do and if we chose the right grade for them. So, our afternoons include a snack, shower, homework, dinner, books, and off to bed. I am still working with the kids on handwriting, Spanish, computer, and reading in the afternoon, since they don't have much homework yet. I am learning that one of the hardest things about sending them to school is not having control over their learning and understanding all the material they are being taught. So, we will continue to work hard at school and at home. We are very proud of them, and they have done a great job embracing this new school and jumping in with a great and happy attitude.
