Friday Fun

Fridays are spirit days at Lee. If all the kids in a class wear red, the class earns points to a party given by the PTA. The kids really get into the competition. Dropping off or picking up kids is like looking into a sea of red. After school, Zach and I met with Miss Majors for our welcome conference. She asked if I had any questions for her, or anything that I wanted to discuss. I was glad for the opportunity to ask her if she could help Zach determine when it's a good time for him to wear his glasses. He keeps a pair in his cubby, but he doesn't know when he should use them. She asked if I would be able to be "room mom" for the class. Basically my job will be to act as a liaison between our class, our parents, and the PTA. I will help organize events like our booth at the end of the year carnival and our basket for the auction. After Miss Majors spoke to me, she assessed where Zach's skills and abilities are. He did a great job and seems to be ahead of the game. He knew all his letters, letter sounds, rhyming words, and numbers through thirty. After our conference we met Jake, one of Zach's new friends, and his mom at Rossmoor Park. It's about two blocks from Lee and it's really the heart of the neighborhood. The boys have become very good friends at school. It was fun for me to see them interact and nice to chat with another kindergarten mom as well.
