DD6 started talking all the time about going to kindergarten when she was just turning 3 so you can imagine how excited she was last year when the moment finally came. At this point she was already reading 4-6th grade level books, knew basic addition, subtraction, simple multiplying and fractions etc
I remember her sitting at breakfast exclaiming excitedly "finally I am going to kindergarten where I can learn to READ and WRITE and do MATH....(pause)....of course I already know how to read...(pause)...and write...(pause).... and do math...well...(long pause)...I am sure it will be fun anyway."
And of course it wasn't. The first question on the "getting to know you" questionaire the 1st teacher sent home yesterday is "Does your child like school?" I am still contemplating the answer. Leaning towards answering, "She really wants to like school." and leaving off the "but it was a really big let down last year" as I would like to sound positive about the upcoming year.
