The first week of school

Jade started pre-k this week and she is so happy and so silly.  I am surprised by her every day.

On the first day, she came home and she said that her day was awesome.  Then, I asked her for details about her awesome day.  She said, "I don't think my teachers are very good. We didn't do any math today. " I had to explain to her that she would do math, but not every day, and explained that counting and learning numbers was math.  She was frustrated because she already knows her numbers and wants to add.

On the second day, she said it was so fun, but she couldn't understand why they couldn't go all day. She was so mad at these short days. I had to explain to her that the first week was short in order to let the kids get used to school. "But we were here last year.  We know the school. "

On the fourth day, she came home and said that she got to read the gingerbread boy book to the class.  She said that Ms. Tammy sat on the floor with the kids while she read the book to everyone.  I don't know if I believe it, but if it's true, I am so proud.  She does have a wild imagination, but she has been doing great with her reading.

So, week two starts Monday.  She is so excited and so am I. I am so proud of my little girl.  I can't believe how grown up she is getting.  I'm so not ready for them to grow up. I just want to hold on to them and keep them small.
