Brookly Change Schools

Sunday: Brookly had a good day and came with me to choir.  Fireside for mormon.org so kids in bed late.

Monday was Brookly's last day at Combs and I went and withdrew her at lunch since she forgot lunch money.  I bought uniforms after 3 stores and little luck finding them.  She seemed happy but also sad to leave her friends and they cried to see her go.  She's invited them over this weekend to hang out with us for conference and stay Fri night. We spent the evening out with Mom and Dad and when we got home the house was chaos but what's new?

Tuesday she was nervous but excited to go to Legacy.  Miss Resendez is very soft spoken and sweet and was wonderful with her.  Brookly had to take some assesment tests and seemed to do fine.  She had modified homework.  Brookly saw the counselor Nicole LoRe and it went well.  We even cancelled her appointment with Dr. Kingsley since he only takes appointments before 2pm and she stresses to miss school.  When I picked her up at 9:15am for the counselor she was a little stressed out about phonograms and that she didn't know them but seemed upbeat.  After school we had another football game for Brennen and Grandma and Grandpa are here so she seemed to have fun.  She was cheering and leading cheers at the game.  We came home and then she began to melt down.  After 2 hours of trying to finish math she didn't know how to do and cursive writing she is rusty on she just couldn't handle anything else.  At 10pm we sent her to bed and emailed Miss Resendez.  The boys had mutual and so were gone a few hours and I couldn't get the others in bed on time. 

Wednesday 28th:  Tired kids.  What a nightmare morning again.  She missed carpool and was upset so I took her but when I dropped her off she was still crying and worried that she'll never understand all the things they do at Legacy. We didn't have all the school supply list and that upset her.  She didn't have her homework done and she doesn't know the 70 phonograms.  AARGH!  Then she began telling me that she had a hard day yesterday and saw the answer on one of the phonograms and told the teacher and the teacher said thank you for being honest but then she felt bad for other things she'd seen.  I''m not sure I should have sent her right then but I want her to be at school on time when possible.  There isn't a daily counselor at Legacy to run to.  The psychologist is only there on Mondays.  We'll see how today goes...the kids have another churchwide fireside called Be Smart about education.
