Kindergartner #2.

So this past year has been busy with Liz, starting Kindergarten and then all that comes with it like PTA meetings, Field Trips and of course homework. She had a hard time adjusting to the whole school atmosphere, and to the kids in her class. Turns out that she was one of the youngest in her class so she struggled at first with making friends and then sharing with the kids that were a few months older. Those other kids seemed like they were in second grade, they had the worst attitude towards Lizzy just because she wasn't a Hannah Montana fan and didn't watch iCarly. So now she pretty much has two friends at school, Leana and Regann. These are the the girls that are younger than Liz by a few weeks. They all love the Disney Princesses and they all still watch NickJr.

So now that Lizzy has finally adjusted, has friends and is finally catching up with her class, now we can focus on getting Jamie ready to start Kindergarten in September. I am definitely a lot more nervous for her to start then I was with Liz. I dont think that Jamie will miss me but I think that she wont really make any friends and that she will have a hard time trying to focus on her work with all the other kids around. She has a hard time just sharing her toys with her little brother and my concern is that she wont be making any friends because she wont share.

There are a lot of issues that I think will hold her back academically when she starts Kindergarten. She has a hard time remembering her ABC's and her numbers but she has a harder time listening to simple instructions. So we got this Calliou Kindergarten Program that has helped Liz with math and sorting, Jamie is working on it but she can only stand the PC for about 30 mins and then she gets bored. So we have our work cut out for us to get Jamie ready for Kindergarten.

As for Liz she is excited to go to school and she is even more excited to do some homework ( never thought I would hear that in my life! ) But as difficult as her homework is for her she enjoys sitting with me and getting her work done and then she is all excited when she gets a smiley face one her completed work at school! ...
