Mr Jerry
On Cadence’s teacher, my friend’s kid acts out in class. His mom is an artist & he wants to be an artist. Today, to start the day (& get Si out of the madness), Mr Jerry was sitting w Si & sketching w him. I was impressed that Mr Jerry met Si where he’s comfortable & is trying that tactic w him
Emotional intelligence
Cadence was being cranky with me & later I asked her why bc I didn’t think I did anything to deserve it. She told me she was getting frustrated by Minecraft & that’s why she was being cranky. Was proud to see she could figure that out!
K2 – increases responsibility
Cadence started school last Tuesday with Mr. Jerry and Ms. Georgina. So far, so good! She went off on her first day without a hitch, I think partially bc she’s with the same classmates.
She has said that she and Bridget don’t get to play as much, so that’s kind of a bummer. She eats meals in the cafeteria.
Mr. Jerry’s class is much more structured. He has them go to assigned areas in the morning and rotate through when they’re done. This week, rather than have the activities out, he is asking that kids who get there first put them out. Interesting to see his rate of increased responsibilities. Cadence is already pretty responsible.

Blake needs to be watched all the time bc he will definitely be getting into something he shouldn’t or get hurt.
