Noah started first grade today. :) I knew it would be like pulling teeth to get ANY commentary out of him after school, but I tried anyway....

Me: "Noah, tell me about school! Did you have a fun day?"

Noah: "It was looooooooooooong. And I left my water bottle in the classroom."



Me: "How was math?
Did you do any new work today?"

Noah: "Math....was very bad.
Language Arts was......bad.
History was...super bad.
Science was PURE bad.
P.E. was super duper great. We played floor hockey."

LOL! :D

He said silent reading time was SO boring because they had to read "Ned" books. Those are the little phonetic books with rhyming words and sentences like "Ned went to bed. Ned's bed is red." Noah read Calvin and Hobbes books all summer and can read words like "transmography" and "gullible." Think I'll have to send some books for him, haha.

I love this kid so much. We got chocolate malts after school and came home and played Monopoly, Jr.
Good day. :)

About a month ago I bought a bunch of wooden tool caddies and altered them. I haven't shown them all on here because I'd like to teach them as a class soon. However, here is the one I made for his teacher. She loved it and it's on her desk. :)
I used the new Daisy D's Classroom stuff....so cute!! (I blanked out Noah's teacher's name)

The first day of school can be very tramatic for the young ones. I'm sure the malt after schools help ease his pain.
The tool caddys are wonderful. What a Great Idea.

Hey Jen! I just caught up on reading your blog. I've had to read fewer blogs lately - they were taking over my life! LOL! I love yours though. I love keeping in touch with your life.

Your little one is so funny. He needs an advanced reading program! Do they even do that in public school? I have no clue.

I just saw your peanut butter pie recipe. Sounds divine! I must make it soon. Thanks!

Love your altered caddy! That DD paper is perfect for it! You're so clevah.

Pizza tonight! I'm comin' home baby!

I enjoy reading your blog and love the layout of it. Did you design it yourself?

Jennifer Stewart said...

Thank you, Marla! I used a template from Blogger but changed a few things with HTML codes. Just poking around on other people's sites is how I learned. :)

I'm LOL at Noah's being bored in Reading. I can totally understand.
I hated reading the "Bob" books with Kindergarteners.
This year I went back to work... I'm teaching 2nd. Your altered caddy is so cute!! Lucky teacher. : )
