Getting Ready for Kindergarten


Last night was Back to School night. We all headed over and met Sophie's teacher, Mrs. Olsen. It was fun to see Sophie absorb everything. She's been worried about where she would go to the bathroom and was delighted when she found one in the classroom. She was also excited to see a playground just for Kindergartners.
She's been asking lots of questions about how it will be like. I really have no idea. It's been a very long time since I went to Kindergarten. But she seems excited for what awaits. 
All the other kids started school today but Kindergarten doesn't start until the 29th. She did however have her assessment today. She met with her teacher one on one so that she could see where she is at before school begins. We practiced a few things during breakfast and had a semi melt down when I asked her to write her name. Did you know S is a really hard letter to write? We sat in the hall and filled out some papers so she could focus and not be distracted. Afterwards, her teacher said she did really well and is really excited to have her in class. One of the best things about living where we do is the awesome school and amazing teachers at Spanish Oaks. I've only heard good things and am so glad Sophie gets to learn in such a great environment. I know she will have a awesome time in Kindergarten.
