"Is it lunch yet?"

First day success! Minimal tears and, as far as I know, no bathroom accidents in the whole school.

All this week, the kids leave at 11:30. It's a happy way to begin the school year. And most of the instruction is about how to sit.

They really need to know how to sit. But...

Around 9:30, after an hour and a half of sitting in various places, a first grader semi-yelled at me, "Is it lunch yet? Because I've had enough."

Oh you just wait, first grader. Sitting's just the beginning.
