More homework

It's Kaitlyn's third day at school, she is having good time so far. She likes cafeteria food (junk food the best), at least save me time to think about what to pack lunch for her :-) She made friends in class and on school-bus already:-) That's always good to hear. She likes PE class, that she asked for pillow before dinner already. Last night, she went down before 9pm - a big bonus for us!

I finally sat down checking her backpack after dinner, wow, more folders - full of homework for me again! Kaitlyn laughed at me, "yeah, no homework for me, for mommy and daddy again!" Sure, there are more documents for us to read and sign off, and of course, to make sure we get the message to sign up for volunteer or/and contributions. Haha, is this the beginning I need to sell cookie dough or help with school projects? I'd love to, but will see how much time I have...

Based on my observations, kindergarten is much more structured than pre-school, even though her pre-school teacher is very good at organizing the class activities and parents are more involved. At pre-school, if kids don't follow rules or don't want to participate, not a big deal. If parents don't agree, feel free to say so. Now, not only Kaitlyn told me about various rules teachers taught her, I have seen guidelines posted in her classroom, and have read/sign off several documents sent from school. Real school time!
