First Day back to school...

Monday was my first day back. 26 students!!! That's alot of 5 year olds who are coming to school for the first time. You see, not all children have pre-school or some kind of formal setting before coming into a structured Kindergarten classroom. There is always one that cries - and the parent asked if she should just take her home. "NO!" Hello!??!?!?! As soon as the mom left, she was fine!! And then the little one who has never been in school, he was rolling on the floor, rocking the chair back and forth, kicking my furniture. It was fun! And all of my 26 showed the first day!

Julia cried for the first two weeks. I was a bad mom - I walked and stayed in the class every morning until she stopped crying. The teacher had to finally confront me and said I had to just drop her a walk away.

Now I can just imagine what an annoying parent I was!
