Monday was Michelle’s first day of “real” school, sort of.
The school year technically starts in August, but they also hold summer school, so we decided to get her a head start (and, for my wife’s sake, get her out of the house) early.
It’s an all-day school, so by the time she got home on her first day, she was out for the count. The family had a quiet day and a quiet evening, how refreshing!
We think she likes school. She doesn’t kick up a fit, seems to anticipate going each morning, but the best we get out of her are question and answer sessions like this:
“How was school?”
“OK”
or
“What’d you do at school?
“I went swimming, and ate and did stuff.”
or
“Did you meet any new friends?”
“Yes.”
“How many?”
“Hundreds.”
“What are their names?”
“I don’t know, but they don’t know my name, either.”
They’ve been giving writing and other simple worksheets during the day, which she brings home, graded. So far she’s nailed them all. Guess we’ll have to wait for some feedback from the school.
