School Year 2007

The kids are back in school. Asia is in the Pre-K class at Winchester Thurston. It costs about 12,000 and if she's there for 12th grade, it'll cost around 20,000 dollars!! Of course, we'll do our best to apply for scholarships and whatnot. They even have scholarships and financial aid! But it's a beautiful campus (North Hills) and Asia really likes it. She goes full time - 8:15 to 2:30 PM every day. She comes back singing songs - Spanish if it's Spanish day. She tells us about nature stuff that her teacher tells her - like how to bring butterflies into your garden and that goldenrods are blooming now. Zach, on the other hand, said he's bored. His teacher was sick at least 2 of the days of the first week, and that Monday was a holiday, and that Friday of the first week, Zach was sick! He brings home these worksheets where he has to write the letter for the word, write the number of objects - really basic Kindergarten stuff. I'm hoping that he just has easy work now so that the teacher can see where every student is.
