Reading is the big emphasis at school right now and Miles' teacher uses different challenges to get the kids excited about learning. On Friday Miles was so excited to show off his first medal He earned it for successfully completing the "Spot Sound Challenge" (showing proficiency in identifying letters and letter sounds...just the basics this early in the year). He could not stop looking at it!

Earlier this week, Mike and I attended an open house at Miles' school. It was amazing to be in his classroom -- to see his table and chair, his seat on the rug, his artwork, the "centers" where he spends time, etc.. Miles' teacher told us a couple of cute stories about him -- and we can tell that she's come to understand his personality quickly. The entire experience made us even more excited about Miles' kindergarten year.
I signed up to volunteer in Miles' class each week and we are now officially able to join our kids for lunch at school. Look out, Miles: here I come!

That's great that you'll get to be in Miles' class more! that should be a good chance to get to know the other kids too... who he's friends with, who he talks about at home, etc. hopefully he's too young to be embarrassed to have his mom sitting with him at lunch :-) Tell him congrats on the medal!
