Kindergarten orientation was just the night before the first day of school. And honestly, after getting Sawyer home and tucked nicely into bed, I had a complete mommy meltdown. The one-hour evening orientation meeting was so overwhelming with an overabundance of kids and parents, Sawyer having 3 crying fits, news of over-enrollment and 30 kids in Sawyer's class, and outlines of strict academic standards that would have to be met. I called Sawyer's dad crying that I had made the wrong decision enrolling him so young (he'll turn 5 in November) and was sure he'd have a rough time.
BUT I have been pleasantly surprised! Three weeks in and he's loving it and doing great!!! I'll keep you updated on his progress and share some of his school work as it comes home.
Happy to see you back at it!!! Harrison started KDG, too! I have had a few meltdowns, but all is fine. Go Sawyer!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the warm welcome! I hope Harrison is enjoying school as much as Sawyer is.
