[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's first grade. Just say that they are sick and pull them out for longer.[/quote] Don't lie. Take longer and be honest. Your first grader will be excited about her trip and will go back to school and talk about it. Either you'll have to tell her to lie or the teacher will know you are a liar. I'm pulling my first grader for 3 days for a family trip and I'm thinking of making it longer because a family member has become seriously ill and I think this may be the last time we she him alive. Lying about being sick was never an option for me.[/quote] +1. I almost never take my kids out of school for something optional, but this is important. Also, it is not a big deal to miss a few days in first grade. Do it, be honest about the close friend's final illness, and then don't think twice about it. [/quote]
