Citizen of the Month

Well, here it is the first month of school and just like Kaleigh (though I am not comparing) Cole will be awarded the Citizen of the Month in his class! Way to go Cole! They get to go onstage and receive their award and of course I will be there with camera in hand to document this momentous occasion! Well, it is pretty cool! Kaleigh is doing awesome in her class, much better I guess than she would have done in one of the other classes (apparently the teacher in one of the other classes is very strict and doesn't really make the work fun). Her teacher is wonderful! Very laid back in an organized way, and just really nice and fun. Kaleigh hasn't had any anxiety over tests or anything (yet). We are hoping she will get everything absorbed without stressing about it. Afterall, these days 3rd grade is like our 6th grade used to be! Whew! The other night they brought home their social studies book, had to study 35 pages for a test the next day! However, they did go over stuff in class that week so....
Anyway, Cole has brought home a smiley face everyday which means it goes on his behavior chart at school. He lets us know every week that he stayed at "green" all week, which is their way of saying that he didn't do anything to have a card pulled. All you parents out there probably have seen or heard of similar systems in your schools. Anyway, he and Kaleigh are both doing great and my class of 4 year olds are doing fine too!
