Year Round??

So, as you know Hailey started school on the 7th of July. So, she has gone for four weeks and as of tomorrow she will be off until Sept 2. At first, when I found out that Wickman was still on year-round (the only school left in the district) it didn't bother me. Well, until now! Now that I think of it, it kind of sucks. That whole month she went to school she was learning. And now that she has a month off, is she going to forget what she has learned? I was talking to one of the other moms in her class. She also has a 4th grader. She was telling me while her older son is off, she has to hire a tutor for that month so her son won't forget what he has learned already. And when Hailey does go back, she goes for a few months and then is off again for 6 weeks in December. I guess we will see. The teacher did give her a huge packet of activities/homework to do while she is off for the month. So, we have to wait it out until 2010, when they think it will turn into a traditional school. And thats when Lucy starts Kindergarten, so they better turn it. lol..

Well, I will leave you with the color blue song (last weeks song)

B-L-U-E spells blue
B-L-U-E spells blue
hi ho did you know b-l-u-e spells blue
the big sky is blue
the ocean is too
hi ho did you know the b-l-u-e spells blue

Lucy is learning these songs now too because of Hailey. Which works for me..You ask her how to spell red and she will tell you..Hopefully she will be reading by the time she starts kindergarten..;) And sometimes i catch Bryan singing some of the songs when he is cooking. They get stuck in your head..I admit, I catch myself too.
