Time for School...
Yesterday was Emily's first day of school... Katie enrolled her into a pre-k program at the Elementary School for kids who turn 5 between August and December. Since Emily turns 5 next month we were able to get her enrolled. Having her be in school has really made us feel like "grown ups." She has attendance and a curriculum and everything that accompanies being a student, except for lunch as it's only a half-day.
While Katie was there she picked up a pamphlet titled, "What Every KINDERGARTEN student should know and be able to do!" We perused this literature tonight and were amazed at the knowledge required for Kindergarten. It seems like when she's done she should be certified...
For example:
- Personal and Social Perspecitves: Describe how simple tools make life easier
- Life Science: Describe the basic needs of living things
- Life Science: Describe changes in a small system
- Physical Science: Investigate forces such as magnetic, push and pull, and static electricity
- Government: Describe how a good citizen conducts oneself
- Government: Recognize national symbols and icons that represent American democracy and values
- Economics: Describe the ways families produce, consume and exchange goods and services in their community
Seems like a lot of stuff, but then again... I don't really remember Kindergarten.

Where are the in law updates? I could really use one. Perhaps e-mail would be a better medium for these?
