I am NOT one of those people to sit
back and DO NOTHING. If something
happens I need to react, I need to resolve… I need a plan.
I was pregnant with Rebekah when we
were waiting to hear about Kindergarten Lottery for Elyzabeth in the fall. In March, we found out she did NOT lottery in
to any of the schools that made day care easy for us. She was simply in the standard half day
kindergarten – in a different district than our daycare.
So, I started planning… I actually
had a plan, and 3 backups... just in case.
One of the back up plans was me staying
home. We could make it if I stayed home
with both girls… Not my favorite idea, but it would do…
Luckily (For both my sanity and my
child’s) the school called me and she made it into the full day kindergarten
class up the road from our house.
Catastrophe – adverted!
So now, as I have agreed to do
nothing – I am going slightly insane!
We met with the school again
yesterday. This time we met with the principal
and the reading instructor. The
assessment from the reading instructor was EXACTLY what I had been telling the
teachers last week. My daughter is REALLY
REALLY good at guessing. She doesn’t
read, she “improvises.” Words she should
sound out, she guess… Obviously, She is not reading at grade level.
Since spring break is next week, and
the results of her testing will be available April 13th, we have
agreed to do nothing. Yep –Do NOTHING! No research on schools, or tutors to
hire. I will not be calling schools to
checking on waiting lists. Basically, I will
ride the breeze – Go with the flow!
WAIT!?!?!?! WHAT!?!?!?
Yeah, soooo NOT happening!
Now where did I put that application
for Sacred Heart?....
