Success!

Wm came home from his first day in a great mood.  His only complaint was that he didn't ride the bus home and was the only kid in his class to walk home.  So, he says he wants to change to be a bus rider home, too.  Which is fine - no big deal, if that's what it takes to make him happy!

He of course didn't want to say much about school, but what I did learn:

1. At some point in the morning, the kids go to the class computer to select their lunch choice.  Options are: (1) Bring from home, (2) and (3) the two hot lunch choices, and (4) peanut butter & jelly sandwich from cafeteria if you don't like options (2) and (3)
2. His teacher has two cats, and one cat always sneaks over to eat the other cat's food
3. The cat that doesn't eat as much likes to unroll the toilet paper roll
4. At recess a teacher blows a whistle three times when it is time to line up
5. If he finishes his work early, then he can go to the reading corner. But today he didn't finish any of his work early. 
6. He colors a worksheet with how his behavior was.  Today was a green day.  If he has a big tantrum, it will be red. There's also yellow and orange in between. But, he hopes he'll only have green days (me, too!)

His teacher came out with all the "walkers" today (ie, just him, since he's the only one in his class who walks) and took a few minutes to chat with me.  I had a much better impression than Friday! Yay!  She said he was actually talkative in class and participated, which is more than I expected.  

I'll still be home tomorrow and Wednesday, but if things continue like today, I can go to work not worrying about Wm and school.  *phew*
