Starting Public School



We decided that it was time to send Dasan to public school. Malakai and Alexa take too much of my time and attention, making it impossible for me to give Dasan the adequate education that he needs. He loves to learn and catches on to new things really fast, so we felt that he would be just fine in public school, even though he has never been. We were so happy to meet Dasan's awesome teacher last Friday, and hear that Dasan is doing really well. She was surprised to hear that he was a home schooler, because he did so well socially, and fit right in with the other children. She said that they all like him. What a relief! She also said that he was right on with math, and only a little behind in reading. But over all she said that we did a great job in home schooling him. I was so happy to hear that, because I was a little scared that he would be behind. We feel really good with the whole experience so far. Our neighbor girl, Kira, walks with Dasan to and from school, which is so nice for me. Dasan is loving it so much. These pictures are of Dasan on his first day of school. It was crazy hair day; thats why his hair is sticking straight up, it's not because he was scared. :) He sure looks handsome, don't you think? And so grown up. The secretary at the school, thought he looked too old to be in 2nd grade. She thought Damian was the one that we were signing up to be in 2nd grade. It's funny how tall my kids are. Were do they come from? They will probably "grow up" to be short. ;)

I am so glad to hear that Dason is enjoying public school. He had a fun first week to go to since it was Dr. Seuss week and they had all those themed days!

What a big boy. He is so cute! He is a very smart boy! Dasan will do really well in school, not only academically, but socially as well. Unlike his aunt Heidi :-) I mean...
