Day 2 a success

Woo-hoo. Katie has made it through two days of kindergarden successfully. They read the Gingerbread man in school today, and made little gingerbread man puppets. She is enjoying her afternoon snack - pudding today - and then we will head to the pool to exhaust her further. She bounced around the house for a while saying, "You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man." So she obviously was paying attention.

The worst part of the day was PE, she said. "We didn't do anything. We just had to sit and listen to the teacher talk about being responsible so we can be self-managers. Responsibility just means doing your job," she said, "like putting the balls away when we are done. I knew that." So there had better be some more activity on Thursday, or she will be leading an anti-PE revolt.

But she did get a Y under responsibility today, which means she is on the way to her self-manager badge, which is the universal code for being a good kid at this school. There was no evaluation on the first day. So all is good in the land of kindergarden. Well, except for the bogus PE class where you don't get to do anything. What were they thinking? Sheesh.
