The First Day

Since Karston was accepted to the year-round elementary school (with the 48% acceptance rate), today was his first day of kindergarten! Half the kindergarten class came to school today, and the other half will go tomorrow, then the whole class on Wednesday. He loves his new school (he's been asking for months, when does he get to go to "the big school"), he loves his teacher (my teacher, he says), and he loves the playground. When we went to orientation last Thursday afternoon, Karston wanted to stay in his classroom or go to the playground; he didn't care about the other rooms.

When I asked him about his day today, though, he told me all about going to the Music room this morning where they sang songs. He said he knew some of the songs from Kid Tracks, but not all of the songs. He's ready to go back, but we'll have to wait until Wednesday.

It appears to be intentional; the Kid Tracks kids are all in different kindergarten classes (as well as the Abundant Life preschool, which is as far as the parental note-sharing got), so he doesn't see Zach or Genna in his classroom but he might at recess and other times. However, Logan who was at Kid Tracks until the most recent years is in his class, so there's one familiar face for Karston.
