What Jaron's learned in the first four weeks of first grade

Really, its very impressive. He's learned or reviewed:

Spanish: colors, numbers, a few basic verbs, and greetings.

Math: number values and number families up to 8.

Reading: phonemic awarness for each sound and letter recognition.

Science: 7 different habitats, the animals that live there and what they need to survive.

Geography: Continents and oceans- he can even tell me what oceans surround which continents and on which sides, map keys, and the points of a compass.

Music: pp,p,m,f,ff

But even more importantly to Jaron, he has learned that Elixxxxth is bossy, Brxxxxxn is a smarty pants, Grxxxxxe is a kissy girl, Lxxxxa cries all the time, and Bxxxy is SO annoying and gets in trouble all the time.

At supper we got an earful of how Grxxxxxe in SO in love with Exxxxxn but he doesn't like her and so Jaron is trying to help Exxxxxn get away from Grxxxxxe. We also heard how Elixxxxxth likes to play school at free time, but always has to be the teacher and never lets them talk. Interestingly, we heard how Brxxxxxn always answers the questions, interrupts the teacher letting her know that he already knows everything, and uses big words. Jaron also curiously counts how many times Brxxxxxxn gets answers wrong and loves to list them to us later (maybe we're feeling a little competitive... who knows:)).

We also got to hear about recess- how he and Brxxxxxn (who also happens to be his best friend at school) were a pack of cheetahs and how Lxxxxxs was a crocodile and scratched him. We even got to hear how Grxxxxxce kissed her hand and then chased Jaron around trying to tag him with her kiss when he was pretending to be allergic to girls.

Yeah, I think he's learning everything important to learn in the first four weeks of first grade.

Go Jaron!! As far as the life lessons he's learning, he must be ahead of the game because I heard similar reports from a few freshman this week (Professor Morrison, did you hear...No, I didn't hear-I certainly don't want to! Tell me how you are...)
