1st Grade

Cole started 1st grade this year! He started at a new school in a magnet program called Explorer. You have to apply to be in the program and then they draw names in a lottery. Cole's name was the first one picked. The program has a lot of parental involvement so it seems like they are able to do more hands on learning and even go on special field trips. Cole loves to experiment with what he is learning so we felt like it would be a good program for him. The teachers are all excellent and that I'm sure will be helpful as well.

Cole's report for the first day is that he loved having two recesses, he went to music class and decorated his class box. He has two boys in his class from his spring soccer group so that is fun to have people he knows. I sent him with a lunch that came back except for the crackers inside! He tried buying lunch on the second day and that went over a lot better.
