I neglected to come back and report about Macey’s first day of Kindergarten. That’s because we have been BUSY as bees around here, but in good ways.
The first day for Macey was terrific. She loved it! She got to ride the bus home and thought that was quite possibly the coolest mode of transportation ever. She told us all about her day and it seems like the highlights were lunch and playground time. There wasn’t one element of the day that wasn’t exciting to her though. She even wore her name tag when we went to the grocery store because she wanted “everyone” to know she had been to school. When the cashier asked if she had started school, her face lit up and she proudly answered “Yes!” Then she told the lady her grade and school – beaming all the while.
So, school is certainly a hit in our household. As is the bus. I have to take Macey to an appointment this afternoon and she was SO disappointed about not getting to ride the bus that she literally begged to get up early and ride this morning. So, Mickey woke her up early and, sure enough, she popped right up and got ready to go. Mickey walked her to the bus stop (at 6:45AM!!) and said she bounded right onto the bus as happy as could be.
At the end of this week we’ll find out who her teacher will be for the whole year. They do “Kindergarten Camp” (which I might have already mentioned) this week which includes evaluations to be sure that students are in their appropriate classes, etc. They hope to keep the current classes intact, but may have to do some shifting, etc. Her current teacher is super sweet and attends our church, so those are just two of the reasons we hope we keep her. Guess we’ll find out on Friday.
I’ll try to post back soon about Kindergarten. This is an exciting adventure for us all. 🙂
