Kindergarten!

Don't let the expression fool you -- Thomas is ready and excited to go to Kindergarten! This afternoon the elementary school where he'll be attending Kindergarten held their orientation. We met the teachers, the principal, the PTA women, the after-care coordinator, toured the classrooms and found the bathrooms. I liked that the Kindergarten classrooms (all 3 of them!) are clustered together in a separate building with their own bathrooms and teacher workroom. It's reassuring to know he won't be wandering long hallways by himself.

Today Thomas tried out the SmartBoard in one classroom, read a book in another and checked out the computers in a third. We peeked into the boys' bathroom and talked about the square toilet paper we found vs. the rolls we're used to. We found the students' cubbies.

In a few weeks we'll go back for a full campus tour with the principal. We'll also try to attend the all-school carnival in early June to familiarize ourselves with the campus even more. And there's also the option of "Kindergarten Bootcamp" in mid-July should we choose to enroll. Lots of fun things and big changes coming our way!
