Kindergarten - Full Speed Ahead!


I volunteered in Miles' media (library) class today. It was only the second time the kids checked out books but they knew exactly what to do (such independence!). Before the kids were released to select books, the librarian pointed out various book locations to me. She happened to mention that the library only has one Spiderman book. Wouldn't you know that when Miles' name was called, he ran right over to where the book was housed, grabbed it, and said, "yes! I got it!" Good memory, my friend --- score #1 for Miles Brown!



Later on, Noah and I went back to the school for "Thursday's Family Reading Day" (we read Oh The Thinks You Can Think and The Bravest of the Brave). While we waited for the class, Noah and I checked out Miles' artwork. I'm amazed that the class is already writing. The kids are encouraged to write everything based on how it sounds to them. I was not surprised to see that Miles depicted his bear as a "flying super hero".


Here is Miles with some of his classmates on their way back from lunch. Curious about their sizes? The boy in front of Miles is a year+ older and the boy behind him is six months older. Other than that, it all in the genes...
