Sadly, the "fun" is not to be continued. Walker woke up Tuesday morning dreading school and begging not to go. He was prepared with a list of excuses why he cannot attend. Walker is a complainer - his glass is always half empty.
He now reports liking nothing about school: hates music, art, PE, lunch, everything. I only hope he gets through this attutide quickly so the fun can return. I have spoken to his teacher, and she reports he is fine, so maybe he only complains to me.
This week is "Howdy Week". I am not exactly sure why, but it is. Every day the kids wear something special: a team jersey, slippers (slip into new friendships), and hat (hats off to the new school year).
Today was a big assembly - rah, rah, rah. New teachers were recognized, new students were recognized and it was a lot of fun (of course, except to Walker). I imagine that he is overwhelmed. The sheer size of the school is huge (600 students!)
The principal's enthusiasm and excitment is contageous. From experience, I know that the principal sets the stage and attitute of the entire school. Mrs. Benson - you rock.
