Its officially official, Isaac's in FIRST grade. I can't believe it either. He was excited as ever to go back and had a fabulous first day (yesterday). He likes his teacher and likes all of his new classmates (but still bummed about having no one in his class from last year). They each have their own date book that they bring home each day for us took look at (possible homework and papers in folder) and sign. Yesterday he wrote in it to "look at my poopers"....LMAO... Poopers? No, PAPERS mom. Papers in my folder." Thought that Id only see this coming from Carson. Wrong.
But it didn't all go smoothly. Traffic. It was like hell battling the traffic in the morning....my comment about it even got into the paper the next day (today). Traffic took away the possible tears from me on his first day back (but they did come later in laughter about poopers...err...papers).
Just a look back to preschool...
Isaac entered preschool with a speech delay. Early in his second year of preschool, the teachers and staff didn't think he had a chance in Kindergarten and told us to think about putting him back a year. Whatever *rolls eyes* ....never underestimate the power of Kindergarten and its teachers!!! When he finished Kindergarten he was at a SECOND GRADE level in reading and a FIRST GRADE level in Math. He LOVED it and SUCCEEDED on time. Why on earth would they even comment that. Good grief.
***What many people don't know is that we pulled him late in his second year and home taught him, including once a week home visit from his speech teacher. He learned more in that half year, than the 2.5 years he was at preschool (started at age 3, actually 2.5). I think THEY should re-evaulate their teaching abilities. It just blew my mind.
