What is your first grader learning in school? Do they come home with homework? Are they doing anything extracurricular?
It just seems like a long time since I’ve posted anything about Cutie Pie and his school experience. He’s doing very well in first grade and loves math. He’s doing great in spelling and is even starting to read books to Sweet Pea! He has changed so much since the beginning of the school year.
Seems so much more confident about himself, is more coordinated, and loves to play with LEGOS. He doesn’t just build according to the directions, but uses his imagination to build freely with the (many) blocks we have that aren’t part of a kit.
My sweet boy has taken an interest in sports and always comes home on PE day excited to share with us what he did! It’s the same way with art. There was a day, not too long ago, when he didn’t want his hands dirty, or would work on a project here at home racing to finish it, unless it was extremely interesting to him. Now he takes his time and concentrates on his projects, wanting them to be the best he can make them. He comes home with paint under his fingernails and doesn’t seem to mind it!
It’s so exciting watching my boys grow and change. Watching them absorb information and apply it in life just amazes me. I never knew mothering would be like this – fascination of God’s creation, my seven year old!
So tell me, what is your child learning in school? Are they learning subject matter…or how to be themselves?
