Since we moved, H had to switch schools. She was not too happy about it either. This past Monday was her first day as a Baracuda. We got her registered and in class and as I was walking away I was proud of myself for not crying like I did on her other first day of Kindergarten. I was, however, praying that she would find a friend and have a good day. Her teacher, Mrs. White (H wondered if her first name was Snow), said she had a good first day. Phew! She has since made friends with a girl named Riley.
Today was a half day at school and when we got home she came in the kitchen where I was making lunch and started crying. I asked her what was wrong and she said that no one would play with her at recess. My heart just sank and I sat with her and cried. Her poor heart was breaking and mine was breaking for her. Tomorrow will be better, right?
I'm kind of disappointed in this school so far. All I've seen H come home with is coloring pages. Yesterday she told me they watched "Max and Ruby" and "Spongebob" while waiting for school to get out. I really hope she is learning at school, but I'm not sure she is. When I ask her what they did she can't remember (which is not a different answer than I used to get, but at least at her old school I could kind of tell what she was learning by looking through all her papers).
Poor H! She is such a sweet little girl! I'm sure once the other kids realize what a sweetheart she is, she will have no problem finding friends to play with.
ReplyDeleteI cried reading that post. It is so hard to see your kids hurt inside, especially when you are not with them when they are sad at school. I am with you on the tv thing. I have gone to Kenzie's class a few times and all the kids are on the rug watching movies because the teacher is testing teh kids for report cards, they really need some aides at our school.
