Just In Case You Were Wondering

So is Isaac really in school?? He is only 4. Missed the cut off date for kindergarten and is enrolled in Pre-K. Pre-K? You mean preschool? Nope. Not so much. Last year Isaac was in preschool. The day care lady took two hours out of each morning to teach numbers, letters, and listening skills. It was a 32 point program that was very beneficial to Isaac. This year, however, Isaac is in Pre-K. He is enrolled in a school called Individualized Education Center. It is in the same building as our current daycare, but in a separate area. Even when he needs care before and after school-he will not be at the daycare, but downstairs at school. He will be attending 4 days a week from 9am to 3pm with a Montessori teaching system and licensed school teacher. This school only teaches Pre-K, Kindergarten and First grade, but they are taught together in the same room. He will be learning math, reading, language, Spanish (I think) and other skills. The Montessori learning system is very different for me, but it should be a good program for Isaac and I have been told that they integrate pretty well into the public school system. So in a nutshell that is the difference between last year in preschool and this year in pre-k. I will let you form your own decision if he is going to school or not this year.

Today I got the kids immunized. What a mess that gets to be. I decided to take them to the county health department. I didn't have their current records with me, I just brought the paper the daycare gave me, showing which ones needed to be updated. Zoey was in the computer with her name miss spelled and the date of her last shots posted on month before she was born. Isaac was not in the computer. After fixing all that, we wondered if Isaac needed more shots. He is old enough for them, so what the heck, he needs them at least before kindergarten if nothing else. Zoey got one, Isaac got four. Both cried for the poke, but were very good. Especially after getting cookies, stickers, books and a free ice cream from McDonald's. Not sure they even remembered the shots after all that.
