We are halfway through Tuttle's third week in kindergarten, and he is loving every minute! It is getting a little easier to wake up at 6:30am for both of us.
Jay and I are slowly getting more information out of Tuttle about his day. He is also starting to speak a few German words at home, including the days of the week. His favorite parts of the days seem to be reading time in Ms. Fleming's class- she reads a chapter from a Magic Treehouse book daily and he likes to write in his journal. The students have been introduced to beginning sight words, such as "I" and "can," and it is obvious how excited Tuttle is going to be once he really starts to read.
Tuttle still tells me that it is hard to understand Frau Miltner, but I think he feels more comfortable in her classroom knowing everyone is a little clueless, too! :)
He is particularly proud of the fact that he has not received any crayons in his behavior folder. He comes home with a sticker everyday. I am not surprised that his behavior is not an issue. Maggie is lucky we do not use crayons at home- she would get several an hour for her three-nager sassiness!
Tuttle has continued to take his lunch each day. He wants to try the lunchroom food, so I told him he can pick one day a week starting next week to eat school lunch. I am just afraid he will not be happy with his choices, so we are going to review the menu each week and make a selection together. I am sure tacos and pizza will be at the top of his list!
Our family is slowly adding more of the extracurricular activities to our routine. Next week we will add the last of Tuttle's sports: soccer with Daddy as his coach! We are definitely busy with karate, piano, gymnastics, ballet, and soon soccer, but the kids seem to love the hustle and bustle. We will reevaluate as the year goes on. :)
