OMG! Kindergarten Here We Come!
So we found out our son's Kindergarten teacher yesterday. The phone call made the impending arrival of the "First Day of School" more real. I'm a mess about it but, hey, what's new?
Supposedly, we have the worst Kindergarten teacher out of the three available in his school. Does someone hate us? Seriously. Are we permanently screwed? It seems like we always get the raw end of the deal. Anyway, I'm anxious to see how the whole "school" thing works out for us and our son. It will all go down in about 12 days. OMG!
We have to arrange an in-home meeting with our son's teacher before school starts. Until now, I've never heard of this. However, I think it will be good for our son. How many of you have done this?
Ok. It's Friday and I will attempt to NOT work on anything this weekend. Does checking email count? Or reading about blogher 07? I could have totally gone but never planned for it plus I'd rather save up a bit more money for a Canon or Nikon DSLR. The hubs and I are going to a conference for his PHD program in Washington DC in December so we're sort of saving for that too! Well, maybe I'll go to Blogher next year. How about you? Who else is not AT blogher right now?Labels: first day of school, kindergarten, motherhood

We didn't put our daughter into school until almost the end of the year (after trying to homeschool) So we didn't meet the teacher. She did go to an orientation and we had three in home visits through a program called literacy links.
I've never heard of the in-home meeting for school, but it seems like schools are different everywhere you go. I'm sure he's going to do great and you will, too!
I'm not at Blogher. I was too scared to go because my blog is just itsy bitsy teeny weeny. And the money thing. Maybe next year.
I want to cry because my son starts kindergarten too, want to cry together?
DC??? Would you like to meet?????
My twin four year old boys start Kindergarten this year too. I dont' know what I am going to do. They have taken up my last four years from morning til night (and during the night too most times LOL). I feel your pain girlfriend!
I bet he'll do just great! Can't wait to see pictures!
Hey, I'm not at BlogHer either...maybe next year.
I think a home meeting before school is a great idea. Your son gets to see his teacher first, which may help ease the transition. I cried the first day my oldest went to Kindergarten....it's such a milestone. But, believe me, it gets easier.Good Luck!
Your home or hers? My dad is a teacher and he used to do home meetings - it wasn't a district wide thing, but he liked to do it. That way he gets to see the kids setting and that can sometimes explain a lot of how/why kids act a certain way. My middle child starts Kindergarten this year too. It is all day here....how about yours?
