a little bragging.....

Elise is adjusting really well to school and had a great first week! I think she is actually handling the change better than I am. Ha! By Friday she was quite exhausted, but from talking to some fellow kindergarten Moms that is pretty normal for the first week.
Each day she gets off of the bus with a huge smile on her face and loves filling us in on what goes on at school. Today she was especially happy because she had good news to share (and because she had her first homework-so funny!)! The school has four key principles (expectations of behavior) that they reinforce in all areas: be kind, be respectful, be responsible, and be safe. And here is Elise's version of what went on today- They had an afternoon assembly and 4 children from each class were recognized for exemplifying one of the "be" rules. Elise was recognized from her class for being responsible.
According to the handbook they do recognize and reward good behavior twice a month in afternoon assemblies, so I am assuming her story is pretty on target. She was pretty excited to share her good news!
And if I can't brag in my online baby book, when can I? So proud of our sweet little girl and so thankful to see her so very happy.
