of summer vacation. wink

JJsmom - hope your ds gets excited when he meets the new teacher.

As for us, DH and I like less and less of what we see in DS5's class. no horror stories (yet), just an uninspiring environment. and the 'mind control' aspect. Mrs. teacher rings a little bell when they switch centers. too pavlovian for our tastes.

DS seems a little stressed out too. hopefully the long weekend will help. and an afterschool sports class will start in a few weeks.

we are also going to keep doing afterschooling/weekend science projects and play dates to provide balance to the school day.

Also - I wish we had a plan C. Plan B was the charter school but we are stil on the wait list with no change in position.
