1. He loves routines and has picked up the school groove immediately.
2. He doesn't want to miss a moment of school, sadly the bus has been 30 minutes to an hour late much to his dislike, especially since his class has specials right away.
3. After so much homework in first grade, his assignment for this week was a breeze and he did it right away and said, "I like this kind of homework." He had to write words to describe himself on a lunchbag and put three items into the bag to help his peers get to know him better. There is no name on the bag so they have to guess whose is whose. In class, after the guessing game, he has to explain to his class why he chose the items he did. In case you were wondering he packed 1. bag of goldfish because he likes swimming and researched fish this summer and he wants a goldfish (hooray for the fact that his class will be getting one), 2. a Lego figure because he likes building legos and because he is creative, and lastly 3. He created this snake from a game he plays using paper, crayons, a hole punch and string, because he likes the game Sliteri-o, he likes snakes, he wants Reptiles Alive to come to school, and because he and Marshal encountered a snake while wading in the creek last Spring.
4. I have also learned that he is antsy to get learning. Mom, it has mostly just been rules and stuff, I haven't learned anything new yet. Library has been the best because we actually got to pick out books. However, he is not a fan of the new library makeover because it is babyish. I need to go see it to see why he thinks it is babyish.
5. He is a little lonely and has more in common with the kids in another class-he keeps saying he wished he were in that class. Time to make new friends. I do feel bad for him, he is an old soul and gravitates to older, more mature peers. May he find a few to connect with.
6. He loves being in second grade so he can sit where he wants on the bus. Usually row 16 because it is far enough away from his old seat.
7. Don't ask him about school or you will get a one word answer but at bedtime when he is stalling you might get a few facts or a life lesson discussion. Such as daddy needing a growth mindset, or contemplating how full your bucket is at the end of the day in terms of having a good day and how you can add to your and others buckets.
7. He can use good handwriting when he wants to.
8. His teacher sent a message saying he was doing great. I can't wait to get into his classroom and see him in action come October.
9. He still loves being home and playing in the neighborhood with everyone. Come on cooler temps so we don't have to wait until the sun is setting to go out and enjoy.
10. If you get bored in class you make up stuff to do like using two pencils to make your hair a mohawk..pictures below
