Kate started kindergarten yesterday.
I tried to take lots of pictures to capture the excitement as we prepared yesterday morning.
The minute we were out the front door, these two went into rolly polly mode.
I decided to take
Liz to daycare first, so just Kate and I could walk to school. Also,
Liz was having a hard time knowing she was going to be separated from
Kate. I am not sure I could have handled the parting of ways between
the two of them if Liz had been at the school with us. Liz was the most
emotional one of all yesterday. I forgot that Kate going to
kindergarten would be a big change for little sister too.
As we walked, Kate told me she was most excited about art class and painting.
Her lunch box might have been a bit heavy for her.
We arrived at school and waited outside for the bell to ring.
We went inside to the classroom and Kate found her cubby.
She happily sat down and waited patiently for circle time.
Circle time began with music and when the music started Kate's tears began. In an email to parents, the teacher told us to wait by the entrance during the song. So, I held back and let the classroom helpers attend to Kate.
Overall, I think Kate did fantastic! She cried a little when I picked her up, but the teacher assured me she was fine all day and only started up again when she saw me!
Congratulations, Kate, on finishing your first day of kindergarten!
