This post is all about SYDNEY and my chance to gush over her accomplishments in Kindergarten (and we aren't just talking puny 1/2 day Kindergarten...we're talking 750-315). To top off her excitement before the first day of school, her wonderful teacher called the night before and reminded Syd to get a good night sleep and that she couldn't wait to see her the next day!! I'm so impressed with this teacher. She has always gone WAY over my expectations and she has the kids eating out of the palm of her hand. She even mailed a special invitation card to each child inviting them to "Meet The Teacher Night". Kids LOVE phone calls and mail!!
So for the next 3 days of school I tried my hardest NOT to bombarded Syd with too many questions. I found if I just let things rest she would eventually remember more and more to tell me. My favorite part is that she always remembers to tell me about which kids get into trouble and their punishment. She cracks me up!
On Friday I got this wonderful email from Sydney's teacher:
Ms. Roberts,
I just wanted to tell you what a pleasure it is to have Sydney in my class. She is very well behaved, responsible and follows directions very well. She worked very hard today and completed all of her work. She was line leader (which is VERY big in Kindergarten) when our class left from music and she did a fabulous job setting an example to her classmates.
Mrs.
We are so proud of our little "Big Girl".
Although I do miss having her around during the day. She has become so talkative lately with cute, funny sayings. Like yesterday at Target we were sharing a snack with the whole family. Eating that great deal for a bag off popcorn and a soda...and she said.
Syd: "I could never be a food master. Because I would just eat all of the food."
I think she was a little too enthralled by the girl behind the counter that gets to make the popcorn. HA!
Well, congratulations to Sydney on a successful first week of school. And my you learn so much in school, that you will never have to be the girl behind the food counter!

Wow, what a great teacher! I will have to remember the phone call idea when I start teaching in another decade or two.
I am so glad that she has such a great teacher...she is such a good kid. I miss having her around during the day too :)
What a fantastic teacher. It is wonderful for her to go the extra mile and email how well your daughter is doing in kindergarten. I think it would be nice that all k-teachers would do that since parents can be overly anxious ( I know I was) about sending their little one to kindergarten.
What an amazing teacher and congrats to Sydney for an awesome start to what is sure to be an awesome year!
Wow. What a really great teacher.
And your Sydney sounds pretty great herself! :)
