Tam started first grade this year, and he was super excited to be going to school all day. He was mostly excited to be able to eat lunch at school, but was thrilled when he found out the first day that first graders get three recesses as well. It's been a big transition for him, and there's a lot more expected of him behaviorally this year than last, but so far it's gone pretty well. There have been a few times where he wishes he was back in kindergarten, but he's not shy about the fact that he's learned a lot so far in first grade. As he frequently says when he's explaining why he's so awesome and knows so much: "Because I si-ix" (said with a head bob and a no-you-didn't attitude).
Three recesses! I wish! Baylie only gets a 20 minute recess and I don't think it's nearly enough. I'm so jealous!
