And, she is now in Kindergarten
Darla can write, knows all her letters and numbers, and is reading basic books aloud and unassisted. She is a great problem solver and creative thinker and I’m pretty sure she is smarter than I am. She is not afraid to let me know that she thinks she is smarter.
We made the long walk out of our Gaye, across the street and down 100 yards or so to her school where she found dead her name tag and sat in the atrium.
Darla packed her own midmorning snack woth juice, yoghurt and strawberries.
This afternoon the local park service will pick her up and take her to theor afterschool program. I plan on hanging around to make sure this goes smoothly.
She should have about 20 minutes of homework each night.
I’ve discovered a perk to her charter school : no classroom supply buying. She has to have crayons, glue and a dry-erase marker for home and we already have that.
Her class has 4 computers, a smart board and is equipped with technology that my Mom would have loved. The teacher can sit at her desk and control the overhead projector, and she can text each or all of the student families. This is a far cry from chalk and ditto papers – but as long as she learns the basics I don’t care how the information is imparted.

" I’m playing with you and I’m not going to tell you the rules" … um, save me?
Kindergarten Orientation
We walked across the street and met her teacher this morning. Darla met her classmates.
It was great.

Do I hear a shower?
This kid is a shower safe. As soon as she hears the water she runs into the bathroom, throws all of her clothes onto the floor, and climbs in the hog all the space in the shower and to get herself under the warm water. She’s like a standing mermaid.
Darla’s List
Great job.

I think it is a pretty good job considering she has not even started kindergarten yet.

Child Care, All That Stands Between Us and Poverty.
Up all night worrying about @LAUSD afterschool program wait list.
Dear LAUSD and all public schools,
Please make more room in your after school care program. I can’t be the only parent facing this challenge.
I could not work if I did not have child care and I could not afford child care if I did not work.
Right now I am a single mother working 40 hours a week while paying over $720 a month for the Preschool and childcare that allows me to do that. Everything will change in 16 days and the perfect routine my life is in will implode. See, in two weeks my baby goes to Kindergarten.
On September 16th I will gladly celebrate not driving an extra hour each day to take Darla to Preschool. She and I will make the short walk to Kindergarten at an LAUSD Charter school which sits directly behind our home. She will be able to…
