School: learning how to open doors????

-

The end of the first week of school and his 1st report.

kids pictureIf my son is enjoying school, he sure isn’t letting on. I ask him everyday the same question after I pick him up from school.

How was school?
What did you learn?
What is your teachers name?
Have you made any friends?

What is his response - nothing!
The most I get out of the boy is that he eats "coconut cookies" for snack time - whoopee...
Ofcourse he has found time to tell his mom that he has made 2 friends at school and has been playing games at school.
I finally received his "end of week" school report. I am glad to see that he has a good report on behavior and work habits. I was afraid he was going to run the teacher ragged since he can’t stay still at home. But I am a bit confused with why they have “ability to open and close door” as one of his study units???? I get the games that use grouping and identifying items. I understand using games and play to teach kids their numbers and alphabets… but "ability to open and close doors" - he does that at home all the time...

In either case I’m just glad he likes school and that he is getting along well. I just wish he would tell me more than he tells his Mom… I’m getting second hand information on my own son...

my son isn't much of a talker either. and has a tendancy to answer "nothing" to most questions about school. i often end up asking him if everyone sits around all day and just look at each other. that is how he makes it seem. but after that he will give me a little info. but i want a full report and he's just glad the day/week is over!

Trevor does the same thing. All we do is color. But when I finally get his papers from school I realize, yes he is coloring but he is coloring pictures that have the short "a" sound.
Just coloring is not just coloring.... and boys just don't talk. Nothing is something to me and nothing is nothing to him.

In Poor taste - you be the judge

In poor taste? My significant other saw a video clip [ part of a video ] I was creating and said that it was done in “poor taste” on my part. Well, I’ll let you be the judge of the complete work. The goal behind this video was to help me talk about the “Effects Movies can have on children”. You see, we let our kids watch just about anything on TV, videos, internet or in the movies. I don’t mean you personally or I myself - I personally try very hard to shield my kids from a lot of programming on TV. But I will admit that America as a whole - parents don’t really concern themselves with what their kids watch. I also admit that there are times I let them watch things they really shouldn’t. Not because it’s bad but because it can effect them adversely. I know this will sound silly and it’s embarrassing to me - but I a grown adult can’t seem to take a shower or use the bathroom without wondering if someone is just on the other side of that shower curtain.

Disney World Savings Secrets -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Almost every family loves Disney World....but high gas prices and the sour economy threaten to dash the vacation plans of many Disney fans this year. Lisa shared some of her secrets with me... beginning with visiting during off season. Off Season Deals From August 24 to September 20th, you can eat free, if you stay at a Disney Resort. Lisa says she tries to take advantage of "the end of august and beginning of september, because of their free dining plan."
