Kindergarten Days

I have to take some time to brag on Jimmy, he has really amazed me with his schooling. From the first day of Kindergarten he has jumped in and has done perfect, yes perfect, in all of his work. We had some struggle last year with recognizing letters and numbers but this year he is really getting it down. He is a very easy student, follows directions, writes beautifully and works hard at whatever is placed in front of him. I started Letter People this year to help him with his letters and he really enjoys it.

Jimmy's classes only last about 1 hour and 15 minutes and then he is outside riding his bike. I added a couple more classes than needed this year, science and social studies. I figured he would think they were fun and he seems to enjoy them both. The only thing that Jimmy does not care for is coloring, he really never has. He will start but tires easily and of course almost every page he has this year has something or other to do with coloring. I do not force his to color the full page, it's not like he doesn't know how. When he does color he does a great job of staying the lines, he just would rather draw and that is fine with me.

I did take some pictures today of him in school but I will probably not get them on until I get back from Florida, so please check back.
