It's been a while since school started for Josie and I thought I would give a quick update. Josie had a couple of really bad weeks at the start of the school year where she did not want to go to school at all. And then all of sudden things have been great. She wakes up and can't wait to get to school. She still says that she doesn't play with anybody. But if I start naming kids in her class she will tell me if she played with them and what she did. If I ask her about her day she tells me she had fun but doesn't want to talk about it. Her favorite things to do at school are gym class, library time and music class. She loves recess. She prefers to pack a lunch rather than take hot lunch but some days she asks to have breakfast at school.
This last week was the first time she had an all school assembly because the fire department came. They got to see the firemen all dressed up in their gear and even the principal dressed up in the gear. They also got to see a bunch of fire trucks and a tanker truck. She also had team time on Wednesday where they got to build a scarecrow! Team time is where all of the classes get intermixed and in each team they have several kids from each grade with a teacher or teachers aid. They do team time once a month and this was the first time they did it this year. Josie had lots of fun and her team teacher is our neighbor so Josie really like that. Josie will have the same team all year so she'll get a chance to meet some of the older kids in school!
Overall school is going great and she is learning lots!
