A fresh K-student

Ray has been in Brushy Creek Elementary Kindergarten for two weeks. He liked it a lot. It was quite a bit change for everyone's life.
The first day was something. Everyone woke up at 6:40am and left house at 7:15am. We walked to school as it was just two blocks away. Our neighbor kids are taking photos in front of their doors. A tradition for the start of every school year.
We walked to school and sent Ray to his classroom. Starting from tomorrow, Ray will stay in cafeteria first, then the whole class walked into their classroom altogether.
Ray got a straight 'super' stickers in his home communication folder from his teacher.Each sticker means a kid has a good day in school.
Dad was greeted by another teacher passing by in a morning with 'You got a very smart boy'. Dad thought that was an equivalent to 'Good morning' in school. But he still asked Ray.
"Do you know her?"
"Yes, she asked me a lot of questions. I got most of them right. A few of them wrong. She said I did a good job."
"OK. Way to go."
Mom and Dad managed to keep half hour swimming daily for Ray and Tony. We need to make sure Ray goes to his bed before 9:00pm. So it is a little tight. Ray's teacher, Ms. Taylor has started assigning some books for reading. Ray was a little pumped up by it. Dad gave Ray a notebook to write down the names of the books he finished up. That night he inked five book names in it. The next two nights, zero. It is pretty much a tiger head, snake tail. But we have to admit that Ray's interest in reading growed a lot. Ray made a friend, Nathan on the first day. Ray said he played a lot with him. We met Nathan's family at Waterloo icy house in a family gathering organized by school parent teacher association (PTA). Nathan's parents said Nathan was very excited that Ray's in his class too. Good to have some friends around.
Austin is still three digits hot. Dad is so glad to find out Brushy creek has a indoor gym for P. E. class. Somehow it wasn't shown to us in the school tour night.
One thing worth mentioning is Ray's violin lesson is about to start. Mom and dad already had training on Suzuki method. What is amazing is that the philosophy of Dr. Suzuki fits dad's pretty well, kinda contradicting to mom's. So...well, let's talk about something else.
Ray's free style is almost there. Butterfly is the lst one to conquer.
Here are the goals for this school year we noted down in the school communication letter,
1. Get into Nitro swimming team (require four swimming styles, but we are almost there)
2. Develop a good interest in violin (Might be tough, as Ray has already been talking about playing instrument is boring and it is not necessary for every kid)
3. Have a happy and productive Kindergarten year!
