First Grade is Over

And so it is.  I now have a second grader and a kindergartner.  The little woman enjoyed her last day.  They had field day and I think she thought the best thing was getting sprayed with a hose by the fire chief.  She was so excited when she told me about it.
First grade was a tad bit of a struggle for her.  But she got extra help and that helped.  She grew in a lot of ways.  She learned more about classroom behavior and controlling her fidgeting.  Her classmates learned how to tune her out when she was humming.  It was a win win for all.
What I noticed from going on the field trip and then we talked about it, is the little woman made no friends in her class except maybe Maggie.  She and Maggie go back and forth with being friends.  She did have friends on the playground.  That was good.
I think my girl is more of an introvert which seems strange when she runs up to people at parks and playgrounds and trails.  She will talk to anyone.  But when it comes down to it...she prefers to be home and only really play with her brother.
I'm going to have to think more about that.  We talked about how maybe in second grade she will find a good friend in her class.  But for now we have the summer and lots of activities planned.
