Year Round School

So, B. started school about 3 weeks ago. Track 4 of a year round schedule. It is the most like a traditional calendar. She mostly loves it and feels all grown up to be in first grade. She told me today that the Kindergartners look so little this year! Also, that in first grade you have to be a lot more serious. It does feel weird to be in school in the middle of summer, though. I can't quite let go of my laid back summer attitude and yes, it did really mess with our pool time. But alas, "they" say this year round calendar will open more spots for students and that students retain more because there is less time in between each grade. Okay, we'll see how it goes...
