Katie has her own caterpillar in her 3rd grade classroom, in a jar right on her desk. (All the students have their own.) I saw hers last night at a school meeting and it's already in it's cocoon. This year, Katie tested into the Program for Academic Challenge as well. So on Tuesdays she gets to go to the "PAC" room for an hour and work on more challenging problems, read more difficult books, etc. As part of this program, she also gets to have 15 minutes of "relaxation and mindfulness" every Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday. This is where she has a scheduled time to go into the "PAC" room, lights dimmed and soft music playing. She lays on the floor and they practice deep breathing, letting things go, etc. Sounds kind of nice.
Will has very positive things to say about Kindergarten. He got to go to the library and check out a book this week, which was a big deal. He talks about a few friends in his class already (one that lives right down the street!)
Heading to school....
Waiting for the bus. Since it was Will's first day riding the bus, I was planning on riding along. (As all parents were invited to do - and many did.) John stayed home to make sure Katie got on her own bus.
Will waiting with his classmates before going into school. The 2 little boys to the left are in his class and ride his bus.
M/W/F "Pebbles" is in preschool. So I leave to pick her up after Will gets home on the bus. That means I have about 3 hours before kids start trickling back into the house. Monday I went for a run, had a cup of coffee and went to the grocery store. Today, I plan on going for a run, having a cup of coffee and taking the car in for an oil change. Friday we are camping with friends so I'll spend that morning getting everything ready...and go for a run. Wow - 3 runs in a week. It's been a LOOONG time since I've been able to work that in!
