Hello all -

How are things shaping up for 1st and 2nd graders in school, homeschoolers and everyone?

This year I have somewhat high hopes my ds6 will have a better time in 1st than in K. Remember my post last winter "vent-kindergarten cookie cutter curriculum"? lol

In first grade they should have more interesting projects, science, field trips, music, etc. I know I am looking forward to those as much as my ds.

And apparently my ds' K teacher told his new teacher that ds is "very smart". We'll see how her interpretation of plays out in the classroom. Don't want to get my hopes up too high but it is reassuring they are aware of his smartness (without my input even!) In one of his old preschools, they were completely clueless even with my input.

Back to school night is in a few weeks. I am curious to see what assessments they do between now and then.

All the best,

EW
