Let's see just got home from an open house at the school-we got to hear the goals for the year ( more science and math and less free time) and then look at some of the work they have done the last 2 weeks. The kids had to write a little blurb about their summer vacation (CJ wrote " I went to Switzerland and I went to a kids club and played with legos. " )- see all this travel and he doesn't mention the mountains, the hikes, the fondue; he mentions the legos .

The other assignment was likes and dislikes- one of the little girls wrote I dislike school- (for which the teacher took a red pen and wrote in large capital letters (OH DEAR)- CJ was a little more of a kissup; his likes were- Mrs."Current Teacher", Molly, imaginary friends, and poison (no idea)- Dislikes- dead animals, dogs that bark, when imaginary friends go away ( I guess per CJ that is after lunch), and pushing. Love the fact they had us sit in the kids little chairs so we could feel like we were back in school ( minus the napmat , milk and graham crackers snack, smurfette lunch box, fruit roll ups, crossing guards as I walked to school, Trapper Keepers, Amelia Bedelia and Ramona books )- ( sorry for the trip down memory lane)
