Week One Recap

The first full week of school is in the books! We had minimal homework but I can see that changing in the coming weeks. My son was excited to finally be able to find the section of the library with the Guinness Book of World Records and brought one home for the week. He’s found old friends on the playground and the bus, a couple in his class, and is starting some new friendships. His teacher is extremely communicative which I love, and he only forgot his homework folder once (Sigh. Yes. Week one. Already forgot.) 

This week, we definitely got into a groove. Peanut butter sandwich, grapes and strawberries, carrots with ranch. We will mix it up next week, but I’m still happy he’s not taking packages chips, crackers etc and eating mostly whole food. 

I did have money in his lunch account for “just in case” days as well as milk for his lunch. I didn’t  want to destroy our work by sending him with the sugary fruit drinks, and they can’t take their water bottles to lunch from what I understand. Each week they send an email with your balance after the prior week’s spending, and his is the exact same as what I put in there! When I asked, he said he hasn’t been getting milk. So he’s not had anything to drink with lunch, but he brings home mini water bottles from snack. I think those will fit in his lunch bag (his water bottle is mammoth and stays in the classroom from what I understand) so I will look for those or a smaller reusable bottle that fits. I feel terrible not realizing this before, but at least it was only week one and not later!

So tell me, how did your first week go?
