Quinn had a successful first day at his new school. It started with him getting on the school bus. His new school is 1-8, and for whatever reason most kids at his bus stop are 7th and 8th graders. Little Quinn getting on the bus with all those big kids was a pretty funny sight!
Overall, he has really liked his new school. He seems most excited about:
- silent reading (his teacher directed him to a "presidential pets" book in the class libary, which he loves. Can you guess which president had a pet crocodile?)
- science class (currently they're studying balance and motion)
- the "flags of the world" floor map in the classroom
- and of COURSE, lunch and breakfast
Things I like about the school:
- they do daily yoga in the classroom, and each child has his or her own mat. when a child gets in trouble, he or she has to go to the "breathing mat" to stay calm and focued.
- they do science and social studies in the classroom (a sad rarity these days), and have a separate science "specialty" class with a different teacher
- Quinn's teacher seems excellent
To celebrate Quinn's first week at school, he and I had a special date to Como Town over the weekend. Look at how much fun he had on the teacups and the zipline!
First grade is hard work! It's good to unwind a little :)
