sheesh, i feel like school hasnt even STARTED here yet. she hasnt gotten any homework yet, except this one folder/collage thing. this whole week is half-days for the kids' reading assessments (annnnnnnoying....i'm sure there's a better way to do this than to have a WHOLE WEEK of half days) - literally we have had no momentum whatsoever. i cant wait for the homework to start and the routine to settle in - i still feel like we're on summer break.
K kids go half days for the first two weeks here. I think just transition time. It made child care a huge nightmare.
btw, R had one day of religion so far, and already came home with a workbook, materials to study for a quiz, and a true & false worksheet - that's more than she's had all month in 1st grade (i'm sure it will kick in soon (??))

yes, we had half days for a month last year in kindergarten also - childcare = HUGE nightmare. this isnt even transition, it's just for the reading assessments, but this week has cost me about $300 in babysitting, not to mention the hassles of scheduling everything. i cant wait for this week to be over.
