School Started

Started School
Alessandra and Sofia started full day Transitional Kindergarten on Monday 9/13 (after a week of a couple of hours a day). They are having a lot of fun in school. It is a full class, there are 22 kids, ½ girls and ½ boys. In the beginning of the class they say the Pledge Allegiance and Our Father. Before meal they say grace. On Monday’s they had gym and Spanish. They told me the story they learned about Adam, Eve and the snake who offered the apple and how God said the snakes would not have legs. At school in the morning the kids have the jobs of putting their lunch boxes and snacks bag in the appropriate location as well as finding the start with their names and placing it on the board. The girls were so excited to do their jobs and wanted to make sure that I did not do it for them.

Monday evening Alessandra says she has a club called “Tumbling Trucks” with Lily, Hannah and Sofia. They have a secret hide out and daily missions which she leads. The mission on Monday was to spy from the boys and on Tuesday would be to spy on the birds. Tuesday evenings she told me that since there were no birds the mission failed and they decided to hide from the boys instead. On Wednesday the mission was to race to the gate. She said she was the leader and the girls follow her in a straight line.

Wednesday Sofia was very excited telling about the computer class with many computers and a cool white board, and the visit to the library and story time. Last Friday she was sad that we had forgotten to bring show and tell (class was only for 2 hours and I thought they would start show and tell the following week).

Dance at PMD started this week, the girls love their new dance outfit.
