Kindergarten, not the same??

well, as some of you know Hailey Gwyne started Kindergarten the beginning of this month. Yes, I did say Kindergarten. Thursday was back to school night, so the teacher can let us know what our child will be learning this year. Well, when I remember going to kindergarten I thought all we did was color, play games, and play outside. Boy, was I surprised when the teacher was letting us know. She said now a days its like First grade. By the time she graduates, Hailey will know all her letters, and numbers..(okay no big deal, she already does know most of them). But, as we listened to her talk, she went on to let us know that they will know how to add and subtract up to ten. Will be reading books and should at least be writing some sentences. Yea dog might be spelled dg, but it will be written with other words.. So as each week passes, Hailey will learn more and more and soon will be writing the blogs for me.

Here is Hailey's song for this past week... (same beat as where is thumbkin?)

R-E-D red
R-E-D red
I can spell red

firetrucks are red
stop signs are red, too
