My Baby Goes To Kindergarten!!!

Yesterday my baby girl started her school career. I cannot believe that she is old enough to go to school already. I really wasn't sure what her reaction to school was going to be. Those that went to preschool with us probably remember all the days that I left her crying on Ms. Anna's couch!! Anyways, we started off a little rocky in the morning but by the time she ate lunch and got ready to leave she was excited and happy. We rode the bus together, I just couldn't let her do it by herself yet, and she was glad to see friends she knew on her same bus. Her teacher greeted her at the door and away Emma went. After school she claimed-I love kindergarten!! I am so happy that she is happy. I am, however, sad to not have her home with me all day. Thank heavens we only do half day kinder here. I am not sure that I am ready to have her gone all day.

When Emma came home from school today she had a bag of M&M's with a little note. The note read:

My First Day of Kindergarten

A Rainbow of Fun!

Have your child open the M&M's and choose a color. Read the question that goes with that color of M&M. Have fun talking with your child about the first day of school!!

Red: What is your teacher's name? Ms. Leckly (really Mrs. Mikulecky)

Orange: Tell about a new friend in your class. Um, she was real nice (couldn't remember her name)

Yellow: Tell about your favorite thing you did at school. Meeting my new friends

Green: Tell about the rule you learned at school today. You have to keep your hands in your pockets every time you are in line.

Blue: Tell what letter you learned at school today. Silly Mom, we didn't learn a letter today!

Brown: Retell a story that your teacher read to you today. The Kissing Hand with Chester.

Emma's answers are in blue. It was really fun to see what she had to say about her first day. I can't wait for more fun throughout this year!!
