First Day of School - 2005

Johnny: "How was your first day of school, Liam?"
Liam: "It was GREAT!"
Johnny: "What did you do?"
Liam: "I did maps. Lots of maps."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Maddie (on her turn telling about her day): "The teacher yelled at me because I carried the blocks like this (shows her way with her hands) instead of like this (shows correct way with her hands)."

She goes on to explain that she thought her way worked better because they wouldn't drop her way. She also clarifies that the teacher didn't "yell" at her, she just showed her the "preferred" way to do it.

Maddie: "It's not fair that the teachers get to be in charge and we have to do things the way they say."

Isabella didn't really want to go this morning, but got right into things and was seen through the window working dilligently on an activity. She did cry for Maddie at one point. She also got to play late in the morning on the playground with Maddie and cried when they had to return to their own classrooms. She slept for two hours this afternoon.

Isabella: "Ummm...I played outside, I came in and had pretzels and water for snack and I played inside."
Johnny: "Are your teachers nice?"
Isabella: "Yep. They gave me a bandaid."


They're all ready for bed early tonight. So are we.

All our love.
