Today, Victor's class divided into a blue team and a green team. Two tables (of six students each) were on each team. When the teacher held up a sight word, the students had to say the word. Victor was on the blue team. The green team got more points.
His class went to PE today. It was in an outdoor building. Sometimes they sat, and sometimes they stood.
Victor earned four stars today for "doing awesome things."
The bus was terrific.
Once home, Victor was distressed to learn that Zeke and I had gone swimming.*
Homework was ridiculous.
*Recalling Victor's distress at missing a swim date, Zeke added to the dinner prayer tonight: "thank thee that Zeke** went swimming with only Mom."
**This grammar is odd because Zeke has never habitually referred to himself in the third person, even when he was tiny.

Cute.
I would look at kindergarten homework as a chance for him to get used to being responsible and used to carrying work home and back to school...important school skills. And it is only the first week...the homework may get better/change. There are many, very different ideas about homework out there...how much should be given, when, what it should be about. Of course, you can always talk to the teacher about your concerns...but be careful to phrase it positively...which of course, I know you are good at.
Oh man. The rubbing of the salt in the wound thing is so classic--and so incredibly maddening when you have already diffused the situation! We are also having concerns over what is done "at home" (or out and about) whilst the oldest is in school. Let me know when you have a good comeback for that one.
