Kindergarten!

Well, Kindergarten has arrived! Jonathan didn't need me at all. . . ran right in, found his backpack hook and put his lunch away in his "tubbie" (plastic tubs under the hooks used as a cubbie). Does he look like Kenneth or what?

It really is a beautiful school. Sort of enchanting -- like you expect Barney the Dinosaur to jump out and greet you. Here's Jon chatting it up with one of the mom's. One thing he sure isn't is shy:

On the table for the morning activity were "connecting cubes," and some laminated cards with examples of patterns to practice. Connecting cubes and patterns are two of Jon's favorite things. In fact, that's what he was telling the mom in the picture above -- "I have connecting cubes at home!"



The morning message for today:



The other half of the classroom where they'll do circle time and centers:



One of the dad's and I were both trying to get one shot of each wall and almot took a picture of each other taking a picture in the process.

There are ten children in Jon's class -- 5 boys and 5 girls.

The lady in the red shirt below is Jon's teacher, Ms. Julie. . . I liked her right off the bat. I took a picture of she and Jon together, but it didn't turn out. Will try again this afternoon. The below picture was taken as I was standing in the hallway just before I left the building. He looks like he's made himself right at home!

This is going to be a great year!
