Kailyn is loving being in Kindergarten. Kain told her that she was a "kinder" she quickly corrected him and said, "it isnt Kinder, it is Kindergarten!!" She loves telling me all about her day (I am so thankful for that because Kain is the opposite, he doesnt want to talk about school when he gets home.... I just like to know how his day was, but the answer I always get is "good")
There are 25 sight words that she has to know before 1st grade (the goal is to know a lot more than that, but those are the ones that she has to know) She is 4 shy from knowing all 25 already. I must say, this year is easy for me because I know what to expect with her since we just did this all last year with Kain. Kain (being the awesome little teacher that he is) has already taught her a lot that she will be learning this year. So, as Kain would say, "this is easy smeasy" Last year, it was all new... didnt know anyone, didnt know what they would do in Kindergarten, but this year we are... well... I guess you could say veterans.
Kain is loving first grade too. Had his first spelling test on Friday... got all 10 words plus the 2 bonus words correct :) He is reading very well. (level 18...whatever that means, I need to see if I can find some info on this) and he has an awesome imagination! I love getting his writers workshop stories sent home on Friday to see what he has wrote about all week. It varies from ants to him waking up and having a triangle nose and a rainbow tongue. Hilarious!
This school year is starting off great! We have been blessed with awesome teachers that believe parent involvement is important. I love that because I love being at the school! PTO meetings will be starting soon (I will be serving on the board this year... secretary) Looking forward to that and a lot of volunteering! I love being a parent at Arthur W Edwards Elementary (AWE) Where year round education ROCKS and AWE ROLLS!!!
