My 1st Grader
Kindergarten, Musings on Parenting — By Jeff on June 19, 2010 at 8:11 amKindergarten, your time is up.
Is the Bear considered a 1st grader immediately following the conclusion of kindergarten or is she in elementary school limbo ’till mid-August when school starts up again (that’s right – she’s allowed only 8 weeks for summer, and this has nothing to do with snow days).
Whatever. I’m calling her a 1st grader, effective this morning.
The girls and I sat down last night and compiled a list of stuff we want to do over the next 2 months. Small stuff like making muffins followed by a day spent hiking & canoeing, then a couple big ticket adventures like Hershey’s Chocolate World and the Crayola Factory. Going to make up a poster of all the stuff, 24 items right now, then slowly check off all that is accomplished.
Hello Summer, we’re ready for ya.

Good idea. I might steal it and do the same….
Happy summer!
Thinking about doing the same thing. What are the other 24 things? Choc World and Crayola are on my list too.
Hey Matt, Maybe I’ll post ‘em all here but some of them are real simple like ‘spend a day hiking/canoeing’ and make a day trip to Gettysburg and/or see a Civil Way Reenactment. Others are making sure we hit the Elmwood Park Zoo and Please Touch Museums once or twice (we are members of both), tour a working farm, put on a puppet show in the house, make a movie using the Flip with Playmobil people and/or dolls. Walk Boathouse Row and East River Drive. Alright, I’m going to turn this into it’s own post sometime next week…
