First Day of Kindergarten



Jakob's orientation was Tues. This 20 minute meeting was for Jakob to meet the teacher again, get comfortable with the classroom and meet a few classmates. He was not in a good mood and did not want his picture taken for this day. George, my mom and I decided it was the anticipation and uncertainty of the day. He did well at the school and made a picture while we were there. He got his tote with his name on it and a magnet to put on our car. This was the best and it put him in a little better mood.

The next day (Wed.) was his official first day of school. My mom was in town for the big event. When I asked if I could take a picture this time he was more than willing to stand with his tote and a smile. He asked, "Am I in a better mood today Mommy?" He was excited to stay for the full 3 hours and thought he might be able to get more done this time. When we picked him up he was so excited and told us he had made a new friend, Travis. He had asked Travis if he could help him build with the blocks and he and Travis made a "huge" city. He had such a good day and wanted to go back the next day.
