Margie went to Franklin Elementary<\/a> last evening for “Intro to Kindergarten for Prospective Parents” night. Came back with glowing reviews — it sounds like they have a really neat program, and they have a fine record<\/a>. A third of the kids there are actually “outside enrollments,” from elsewhere in the district or from outside of it, which sounds pretty impressive.<\/p>\n

The biggest question we face is deciding which K program to put her through. There’s a 2½-day course (Mon a.m., W, F or Mon p.m., T, Th), but there’s also an extended\/enrichment 5-day-a-week program. The latter costs money, but that’s not the main worry. We’ve a little concern that it may be a “day care dump” for some of the kids, and we’d rather not get Katherine too involved in that — but, at the same time, I think both the expanded education and socialization opportunities of f\/t school would be good for her, and I think she’s ready to be able to do it.<\/p>\n

Sign-up is in a couple of weeks, so we have time to ponder over it.<\/p>\n

Margie’s already wondering what she’ll do with her days without Katherine in the house (I suspect she’ll figure something out).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
