Wildcat University
Lanie started "Wildcat University" today. I've never heard of another school doing this before.
Depending on whether or not the kids passed their benchmark tests, the kids had three options. So as of Friday, the 22nd:
1) If they failed, they had to stay until June 8th for smaller, more intensive classes and studying.
2) If they passed, Friday could be their last day. Summer, whoot!
3) If they passed, they could spend the last two weeks doing electives at "Wildcat University".
Lanie is doing the electives. She was able to choose 3 and her choices were: "Hands on Science", "Art Gallery", and "Wildcat Camp". I'm glad she took the science class. She's very excited about it. I was worried she'd take scrapbooking because that's what her friend Nicole is doing.
It's the first year they're doing this so I don't know how it will turn out. We didn't get any instructions or anything. I would have thought the kids would be allowed to wear jeans and such but it turns out that it is not the case - they're still in uniform. Luckily I made her wear uniform today just in case.
She was nervous this morning and asked me to walk in with her. She didn't know if she'd still get lunch and breakfast and didn't know where to go. But it turns out that every student went to the gym today to get their assigments so as soon as she saw a friend or two, she was ready to cut the apron strings and run off.
