My Kindergartener

Jack had his first day of Kindergarten last Tuesday (Sept 13th). He loved it! I asked him if he wished he went all day and he said yes. I was a little disappointed he didn't want to be home with me and his brothers and sister, but I'm happy he likes school so much :) He said his favorite part of school the first day was eating apples. He also had tomatoes for snack, but he didn't like it. He also liked centers. I think he was excited about those because he did them in preschool. He didn't remember any of the kids names the first day but has learned 1 or 2 each day since, most he had learned from reading their names. He has made a friend this week. He said Tuesday that he showed a little boy a tiny play doh egg that he made and the kid laughed. Then the next day he said he the boy laughed at him a lot (in a good way, not a mean way... Jackson was happy.) and he said he liked him because the boy talks to him a lot. And today he said he played with him all day and didn't want to stop. I'm happy he's made a friend. He seems even more excited about preschool now. He loves recess. Everyday he says he hangs upside down and goes down the slide. Although today he played with his friend so he didn't go down the slide. He also loves going to the computer lab at school and eating snack.

Doug stayed home so he could come with us to take Jack to school.

This is what else he had to say about his first day of school:

"We had snack. We had recess. Mrs. Crow read us a book. She read us Little Red Riding Hood. And it was the same one as us, mom. We learned about the color red. And that's all. I'm all done. Oh and I lined up for recess. There's no helpers. Mrs. Crow does everything except be the line leader. Everyone can be the line leader. And I was hanging upside down on the bars and we played at the big park and we were playing at the swings but I didn't get to swing. And... and we colored! A bird. A red bird. But I couldn't color the brown bear because we were out of town. But we didn't go to the purple park."

I asked Jordan how he felt about Jackson going to school and he said:

"good. But I wanted daddy."
