School Daze

It's been a busy few weeks! Grace is in school 5 days a week, Marion is in Mom's Day out 2 mornings a week... I'm always running somewhere! Grace's dance and Marion's Mommy and Me classes will be starting soon too - really, I'm exhausted thinking about it! It's all so much fun though! Both girls love school, especially Grace. She adores her teachers, has a couple sweet new friends, and she is learning... what more could I ask for?!

Grace's biggest challenge has been writing lowercase letters. I taught her to write in all capital letters (couldn't one of you kind blog readers have told me how stupid that was?? I've posted her writings many times!). At school, she is expected to use capital and lowercase letters correctly. It was initially a shock to her to be told that how she had been writing was wrong... she's used to everyone telling her how great it is :) Well, we have been practicing and she is getting much better at it. Anyway, I won't make that mistake with Marion, lesson learned!

Homework!!! The teacher sent home a note telling us to practice, practice! At this time they were just working on first names.

A writing exercise she did at school today.

A simple graph, last week's math lesson. Notice how the teacher corrected her work. Hey, the 8 isn't backwards ;)

This was one of the worksheets from when Grace was still frustrated about having to use lowercase letters. Look at how she wrote "RED" on the bottom!! Determined to do it her way! She has since let it go and is happily using lowercase :)
