Kate was VERY excited when we got to her classroom. She said hi to Mrs. Richardson and then went to put up her backpack and lunchbox in her cubby. Kate also made Mrs. Richardson a coloring and bravely went up to her all by herself and gave it to her. Mrs. Richardson was super happy, asked Kate all about the picture and gave her a big hug!
There were coloring sheets out at the table for the kids to color on until the parents left. As soon as she sat in her seat she told Todd and I "you can go now". We were not really ready to go yet, as kids and parents continued to flow into the room, so we stayed awhile longer. Soon the room was filled with 23 kids and about 40 parents. At this point, Kate was glad we stayed as there were lots of adult. She colored and introduced herself to the kids at her table (with some prompting from me). She seemed really excited and comfortable (although at one point she asked me to come sit by her at her seat).
Parents lingered and lingered until Mrs. Richardson reminded everyone that there was a kindergarten parent meeting at 8:45 in the gym...then we finally left! We gave Kate hugs and kisses and told her to have a great day. She smiled and waved at us as we left.
Todd and I did good (no tears), but Kate did better. Definitely harder for us than her...thank goodness! Now we can't wait to pick her up to hear all about it!!
Here she is at her table...
Another one of our neighbors, Haylee is in Kate's class! She lives in the same house as us by the mailbox.
Backpack and lunchbox are in her cubby!
All the chaos as parent say goodbye to their kiddos (lots of crying parents)!
