Tuesday night we had a lot going on. Sarah had cheer practice and Alison's teacher held her "parent orientation" meeting. Since Ali is in the multi-age class Kris and I already know her teacher and we're pretty familiar with how she runs her classroom, but we thought we should go anyway and we could meet some of the parents from some of the new kids in the class. There is one girl (a first grader) who Alison was friends with in pre-school so we were happy that she would have at least one new friend that she was familiar with. Most of her friends from last year were a year older so they have all moved on.
After the meeting with her teacher we had to make the choice between going to the first PTA meeting of the year or to wait with her outside her dance class. We chose dance. Since she had issues over the summer with her dance class, we pulled her out of the studio she was at (We actually also had some concerns about the costs as well with the classes and her costumes and tickets for her recital so we didn’t have much of a problem taking her out). Ali loves to dance though and we wanted to make sure that she kept up with at least the basic skills, so we registered her thru the Falls Rec Dept. So after her first class, at least it seems as if she likes it.
I’m not too sure what she’ll learn, and Kris and I are sort of questioning things since Ali came home and showed us what she learned. We looked at each other and thought the same thing.... That doesn’t look like any dance move I’ve ever seen. Hopefully since it was the first class and they spent half the class introducing people, getting to know everyone, and going over the rules and requirements for the class it was just something fun that they were doing. Ali did say that next week they’ll be doing more work. At the very least she did make a new friend and there are two other girls from Riverside in her class so hopefully it will help her be more comfortable.
