Change

Ramona liked her new school. We visited last week. It is much more school-y than the Coop, but it isn't like school-school. Ramona was a little puzzled when she was asked to clean up for singing even though she was in the middle of a drawing. When she was told to "take a seat" during meeting, she was confused too. It just didn't feel natural to this little Coop spirit.

Before we visited, I told her that she shouldn't just rip off her clothes when we go there because I wasn't sure of the rules about that (this is legal at the Coop). I assured her that at home she could still run around in her undies whenever she wanted to. As we walked into the classroom she was quiet, a rarity. She stopped and asked, "Do you think I can even take off my shoes?" Well, in the end it turns out that the kids all bring their swimsuits and by 9:30 they had one by one, in thier own time, stripped down to nothing and changed into their suits. Thank goodness.

If you uask Ramona about it, she says she liked everything except for when they talked about nap...she doesn't want to rest.
