The kids enjoy “Week of Summer” every year when the school closes to transition classrooms and do teacher training. Right before their week of time off, the director called and suggested they were thinking Ben might be a better fit in the Kindergarten class instead of Pre-K. There were a lot of positive advantages, so we decided to go for it and let him give it a try. Ben was really excited (even though he had no idea what kindergarten was).
Elizabeth also moved ahead a couple of classes and is in the same class Ben was in when he turned three. Both kids are just down the hall from each other rather than on separate floors as before, so that is nice for drop off.
They were both excited to start in their new classes and did great on their first days. Ben is showing off his new backpack full of supplies!
Drop off is a cinch and has never gone better for either kid – yea! Elizabeth is so smitten with her new teachers already, it is funny. She talks about them on the way to school, on the way home and claims they are her new friends. She told me she wasn’t going to one of the extracurricular programs anymore so she could stay with one of her classroom teachers longer. Guess she likes her new class! Ben’s class is unique as it is joined with the Pre-K class and he can roam between rooms when it is free time. So he sees lots of old and new friends and has more responsibility and freedom this year.
We’re off to a good start!!
