Kindergarten is Fun!







So after that teaser of a day last week that is known in these parts as "Staggered Entry" -- little G headed off today for her first real-deal day of Kindergarten. She didn't spend much time there today without me. What with the PTA minutes I was transcribing, and the SOS last night from Francesca's teacher to come in and handle a few Centers while she did her one on one reading assessments. And of course the Moms help with Kindergarten lunch all this week (we didn't lose a single milk carton to the floor -- hooray!). All that "free time" everyone kids me about turned into 30 minutes at home putting away laundry followed by a quick meeting at the "homesite" with the builder before the bus brought them all home. And so it goes....

Her take on Kindergarten. She made HUNDREDS of friends and learned BILLIONS of rules!



And in other news -- the double teams of bricklayers are making it happen over at the ranch....

First Day of School


 
Posted by Picasa


We interrupt this summer to bring you the first day of school! Sophia and Francesca "Tracked In" today to begin 2nd and 1st Grade, respectively. By all accounts, everything went well. Our little Kindergartener only goes one day this week -- Thursday. The real deal begins for her next Monday.

And the end of the holiday weekend meant big progress in Turchettiville. We're getting bricked!
