Day...

Today was kindergarten round up.  Sarah has been waiting for this day since I registered her for kindergarten a few weeks ago. She has asked me every day "do I go to my new school today". I can't believe that five years has gone by so quickly and in less than three months my first born will start her journey as an elementary student.  I think I like the words kindergartner a lot better because it does not make Sarah sound so grown up.   

Sarah was not sure what to think once we arrived.  She hid behind my back for a few minutes just observing all the people and the environment.  Once she recognized Grace (her friend from NC preschool) and Elizabeth (church friend), Sarah finally warmed up. 

As you can see from Sarah's face she is not very happy.  She did not want to get breakfast because she wanted to go home.  Sarah did not want to go to kindergarten but instead wanted to go back to her old school.  She said "I don't want to be five mom, I want to be four and stay with Mrs. Smith and all my friends". 

After Sarah's nerves settled, (I guess that's all it was) she finally ate and listen to the assistant principle, kindergarten lead coordinator, and PTA president speak.  Once it was time to go on the school tour Sarah was back to the little girl I know and full of smiles. 

This is Sarah's friend Grace she is so sweet.   Sarah and Grace attend New Covenant preschool and are in the same pre-k class together.  The principle at Lawton Elementary does not allow parents to request teachers or friend placements. Although he does take into account the best individual needs of every  student.  After speaking with the principle he guided Chad and I with the directions we need to take, in order to make Sarah's first kindergarten experience success! 

One happy soon to be kindergarten girl!
