some meat & potatoes

OK, I am tired and was trying to get a quickie blog post, then make Kalia's lunch for tomorrow and wash some dishes. But 10 years from now, I will want to know more about what happened on Kalia's 1st day:

Things Kalia told me today: (By the way, she was so happy when we picked her up, not to be picked up, but that she had such a great day at school!) She was literally dancing around the ice cream shop.

1. They have a class pet or rather 3 and they are guinea pigs. Everyone in the class got to hold them.
2. She did not buy a snack today with the money in her coin purse because Mrs. Coon said that if you brought a snack ( and I had packed emergency goldfish) then you sit down and if not, then you can line up to buy a snack. I will not be packing goldfish tomorrow.
3. Taj offered her some tissues because her nose was a little runny.
4. Her cubby is where her stuff goes and you can bring a toy to have rest time with- her teacher said it was OK.
5. She recognized two girls who were at her Pre-School the year before and now are in 1st grade.
6. The playground is so cool- there is a tire swing, bars (lots more)
7. The red folder is for her homework and it's in her backpack.
8. They had another teacher come in and teach them PE and he sang them a song.
9. But the best thing is that if you are good and you earn stickers every day then when you fill up the page you get to pick something out of the treasure chest!!!!
10. Nothing made her sad at all today. (I asked what made her happy today and if anything made her sad and this was her answer for the sad).
11. There are two books in her classroom that we read at Barnes and Noble yesterday "School Rocks" and "Mrs. Bindergarten get ready for Kindergarten".
12. Maybe she will buy lunch at school sometime, since she has discovered that instead of regular milk, she could have chocolate milk instead.

Anyway, she had a great day and can't wait to do it again! Homework I had to force though- she was a little tired after school. Now I have to do my homework and make a lunch!
