Two steps forward

The kids have been in school for about a month. Liam's preschool is a bit more play than work, so no surprising feedback. He's happy to go, slow to leave, and has happy things to say about his day.

Galen is bored, school is too easy. I am not sure how to respond to a 1st grader's critique of the curriculum. He does his homework, on the bus, on the way home. More time to play he says. He's delving into geography, biology, and thankfully not given up his art projects.

Tomorrow is our first 1st grade teacher conference. I hope to find out how much is an act, or hopefully is true that classes are too easy. At least this year's behavior is improved, I think. So far only two notes for me to sign, no punch in the nose like last year... Progress.
