Well, it has been awhile since my last blog...but whose counting really? A lot has happened since then, so to catch you up. My daughter and I had a great year last year in Kindergarten and we BOTH graduated to First Grade! I got to keep some of my babies from last year, and we added a few from other classes. I can happily say that we made it through the first week in First Grade. The first day was a BIG eye opener. I kept saying, "Wow, this day has been SO easy!" First graders know how to write and read and blow their own noses! What a difference from every first day of Kindergarten! Don't get me wrong, I have LOVED everyday of Kindergarten, for the last 9 years, but first graders are so much more independent-like night and day! My sweet daughter is still across the hall for me, which makes my job so much easier to go to everyday. However, we have gotten a new math program, which seems to be a MESS! I will start teaching the topics next week, but just looking over everything, it is put together like a Kindergartener puts together an outfit! Just a hot mess. I am hoping that as I wade through it, the light bulb will come on, and everything will make perfect sense....Here's to hoping! Well, prayers are welcome for the second week, as we settle into all the first grader stuff.
