Katee is going to the same preschool as last year and has the same teacher. She asks every day if she has school tomorrow. She LOVES it!! She takes the bus to and from school and does great!
Jordan is in 2nd grade at a new school, Robson, this year and so far is going good. Not nearly as much homework as Franklin and not so rushed on the academics. It's a good change of pace for him. He really struggled with it last year and got frustrated and would just give up and cry. Not ideal for a kid! So this school seems to be a better fit for him. I am so glad. He's already made friends and loves playing soccer at recess with the "big boys."
Jocee is doing Kindergarten again because she started Kinder last year as a 4 year old and at the end of the year, her teacher said she didn't feel like she was socially ready for 1st grade--academically, yes, but socially no. She said she wasn't very confident and didn't take the initiative to do things. So we decided to take the teacher's advice and put her back in Kinder. So far, a week into school, she already has "girlfriend drama!" They don't really do "work" like she's used to so it's a good time for her to work on her social skills. She's learning the dynamics of "girls" and all the drama that comes with it--"Today Brooke said she's not my friend! She's friends with Hannah now! She told me to be friends with Marie because we have the same color shoes and I don't like her!" It's unbelievable how early all the drama begins--the movie Mean Girls keeps popping in my head! Anyway, she's been a good little saleswoman for me too! All her friends want bows/flowers like hers! She handed out business cards to them today! LOL! She was so excited!
