Maeve and Lilly

First day of school: Lilly in grade four and Maeve in grade one! Lilly has been worried about her teacher because apparently the scuttlebutt is that she is very mean. We had a number of talks about giving her a chance and that maybe she’s just strict and her class last year was ill-behaved. Lilly tried to be optimistic but she had a lot of trepidation as she got on the bus. After the first day, Mrs. B was deemed nice, though she was still worried about day #2. After the second day, she was still deemed nice. After two weeks, Lilly decided that she was “strict but fair.”

Maeve’s teacher appears to be well-liked by everyone and Maeve is flourishing. She wrote “school is fun” on a piece of paper the other day and seems to quite enjoy doing her homework. In fact, after one week, Maeve got moved to the advanced-readers table. At the school open house, Mrs. S told us that Maeve has had none of the fooling-around behaviors that were sometimes a problem last year in kindergarten.
