P's in Kindergarten

Well folks the official start of school has come and gone in this house! P is an official kindergartener :) Her unofficial day was this past Wednesday. It was her assigned testing/transitioning day. There were only a few kids that attended that day with her. The day was designed to help the teacher assess where each kid is level wise plus give the kids a day to get use to the environment. That day was a success! I walked her into her class and she didn't even blink. When I picked her up that afternoon, she couldn't wait to tell me all about it. Then Friday everyone in Kindergarten had their first day. That was another successful day as well. P is settling in her classroom's schedule and adjusting to the long day. She loves eating her lunch in the cafeteria. And Fridays the kids can purchase ice cream for a treat. We are still adjusting to our new routine and life as well. The mornings haven't been too difficult. Thankfully, we are mornings don't start too early and the school is just down the road. We typically need to leave the house by 820 and it takes about 15 minutes in the car rider's line. Henry is getting use to not having his sister to play with during the day and look forwards to picking her up from school in the afternoons. P is really going to get immerse in school this week as it will be her first full week... Monday through Friday... seven hours each day... makes for a long week for a 5 1/2 year old. I feel she will get use to it no time and is up for the challenge in the school year ahead!
