When we first called to register them for school, they said that the school that they were assigned to for the home we live in was overcrowded for kindergarten and second grade and so we would have to go to a different school. In fact, the two schools that were next closest to us, were also filled and so they would have to go to a school that was about twice as far away. The distance isn't too bad, but we just didn't like that they wouldn't be able to go to school with any of the kids in our neighborhood, that they would have to change schools again next year or the year after whenever a spot opened up for them, and the new school that they were placed in had the worst performance scores in the district and it looked like a prison from the outside. Luckily, just two days before they arrived a family that included a second grader and a kindergartener moved out of our home school and they allowed us to get in after all.
All three of them said that they had a great day at school today. We were glad about that because they seemed pretty nervous in the morning and the day before. They just had lots of questions about where to line up and what time to be there, and what if they couldn't find their class. But, at the end of the day they told about the fun things that they did at recess, some of the new friends that they met, some of the things their teachers said to them, and some of the projects that they got to work on. Christian goes to school full day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and every other Monday so he is off for the rest of the week. But Julia and Ethan are excited to go back tomorrow.
