I dropped her off with her homeroom teacher (Miss Houglum) for an hour this morning. The purpose for today was to allow the teachers to get a better feel for their new kindergarteners and assess their skills. This was also a chance for the new kindergarteners to meet all three kindergarten teachers and check out all the kindergarten rooms since they will spend some time in all three classrooms. They asked that we leave our kids there so they could see how each of the kids interacted with the teachers and other students without parental interference. I'm not sure how the other parents felt about this but I thought it was a great plan because Sofia tends to be much more cooperative when I am NOT there. Sofia was actually a little bummed when I showed up to pick her up an hour later; she is just so excited to take the bus and on normal school days her day care will pick her up in the Kids Count bus!
Tomorrow morning is her first full day of kindergarten and she'll even get to ride on the bus. I am so excited for her as she embarks on this new journey and hope that she loves school and everything she's going to learn.
Only two more years and we'll be sending Ethan off to Kindergarten, too. He was very excited for his big sister today (or maybe just the bribes I had for them if they smiled for the camera...).
