Kindergarten is Tough


As you know, Mallory started kindergarten on Monday. She had a rough first day (are you really surprised???) Apparently she didn't want to write her name or color. In fact, she was given 45 minutes to complete this assignment and still refused. As a result, she missed most of her recess time. Needless to say on Tuesday she didn't want to go back. She wanted to go to work with her daddy.

On Tuesday, she did better. She wrote a bunch of M's and finally the rest of her name. She also used one color crayon to BARELY color the 3 objects on the paper. It took her 20 minutes to do this. However, she completed other worksheets with satisfactory speed and quality--she got smiley faces.

Today, she begged me to drop her off as opposed to walking her in.

When checked today, she got a smiley face on her behavior chart and her work appeared to be completed. Thank goodness!

On Monday night she went to bed at 7:00, last night she went to bed at 6:45 and tonight she fell asleep at 7:45. Tonight was later because she had gymnastics.

This was her first week back to gymnastics. She wore a new leotard to celebrate. Tonight she also expressed a desire to re-enter the combo class which includes dancing with the tumbling. I am really excited because now she will be in the Christmas play. The play will be on December 12--so mark you calendars!
