He loves to learn, so I knew Sam would enjoy going each day, but I wasn't quite prepared for the way he would run to his classroom in excitement. We love kindergarten.
So thankful.....
This school was our first pick and our name came up on the waiting list 48 hours prior to the first day. It still amazes me how that worked out.
Sam has the most coveted teacher. Ms Darcy is amazing - I am so impressed with everything. I love that Sam is learning from her.
Sam is making incredible friendships. There is a little boy from our church in his class, which brought instant comfort on that nervous first day. And there is a sweet girl whose family also loves the Lord that he has hit it off with. Her mom commented on how these kids have found each other and how the friendships were clearly orchestrated - and not by us because we aren't even there!
Sam has also made friends with a hilarious little boy whose family is from India and has a life dramatically different from him. There is also an autistic boy that I have witnessed Sam interact with. Such tenderness and acceptance.....I freaking love my kid. So proud of him.
Happily, god is orchestrating friendships for me, too. Yesterday I was invited to the class for career week and taught a dance class.
Can you spot the 2 year old photo bomber ;)
Afterward I met the school's musical theater teacher - she's a christian and got excited about royal stage and all we're doing. Then today I chatted for a long time with another mom who is also a christian. She invited me to a campus mom prayer group. She also told me the families participate in See You At the Pole - which is precious to me because I became a christian the night after going to it in high school. I can't wait to share that time each year with Sam and eventually Charlotte.
I am really enjoying this new world. I am thankful my child attends a school with a library and an arts program, and that I'm encouraged to help in the classroom.
We love kindergarten.
