First Day of Kindergarten

My little boy started kindergarten yesterday... snif snif! No really there were no tears by anyone. I think we prepared him so well with preschool it was "See ya Mom and Dad!"
Tuesday night we started a new tradition. . . a back to school cake. 1 candle for every year he's in school. Besides it being a little tough it was yummy!
Daddy and his boys
Mommie and her boys.
Hayden dressed in his uniform and ready for school. That is one cool thing about his school that even though it's public they have uniforms they must wear. Nice not having to fight with him on what Star Wars shirt he's wearing today :-) LOL
Walking to school

Sitting at his table which happen to have 2 other kids from our street at it. Should be fun to be with his friends. He also knows a few other kids in class because they were in the same preschool.
I'm having a little issue with the class size... 31 kids in one class and some are special needs kids. I'm all for mainstreaming but with a class that big something needs to be done. I think it's time I talk to the teacher.

He was willing to go back today so I know he had a good time :-)

Cute uniform...I'm all for that! Tell me more about his classroom. Does he have any teacher assistants? Do the special ed kids leave the room for awhile (to get intense help)? ~Nancy

class size went down to 28 kids... so a little better.
Special Ed kids stay in class the whole time and do have an aid but she is the aid for the class as well.

So far so good and Hayden is really loving school. Talks so much more about K than he ever did about preschool :)

Yes we're LOVING the uniform as well. Do arguing what to wear in the morning... if we left it up to him it would be the same shirt day in and day out :)
