To prove to Dad that I'm not a fool.
Adam Sandler?! Billy Madison...
Yes? No? :)
Anyway...Cale started "back to school" August 19.
That Monday morning he was just pumped. Up at the crack of dawn (though what else is new...), got his clothes on (that he picked out the night before), and fixed himself some breakfast.
I love that kid. And I love his spirit for learning.
I love that he is not fearful of new surroundings. He seemed nonplussed that he may not have any of the same friends from his Kindergarten class. Or a new bus driver. Doesn't bother him.
1st grade is big stuff. No longer the babies of school.
Crazy that he is getting papers sent home with actual grades on them. 92%, 98%...weird, yeah?
His lunch time is moved to a more reasonable hour -in K he was eating at 10:50a, now he starts at 11:15a, I think.
He's learning so much too. And he's got homework.
Ten minutes of daily reading (with signatures from parents to validate) and then twice a week working on flash cards.
He is doing awesome.
His teachers name is Mrs. Hawk. And to Cale's surprise Grammie got him a red and black checkered "hawk" backpack (HAWK is the brand name)... Ironic a tiny bit. And he loves it.
So there ya go...Second year of school - at almost a month in - he's still digging education.
Two thumbs up.
