Week One of Kindergarten

Jakob has completed his first full week of Kindergarten. This week was filled with new activities which included: art class, two music classes and physical education class. He loved them all. In art they finger painted and their art work was displayed on Friday. Beautiful. In music class they heard drums, beat sticks on the floor and sang. The music teacher told them the drums "speak" to her. We'll have to get more details on this observation. In PE they played hide and seek in the "Butterfly Forest" (his class is known as the Butterfly Class) and saw the PE teachers closet full of all kinds of balls and equipment in the indoor playground. He couldn't have been more impressed with all his new classes.
However, his favorite part of this week was snacks. Each child is asked to bring a snack on their assigned day. The first child's snack will be impossible to beat. Blueberry bagels from Panera and orange sections. Jakob was so excited we had to ask where the nearest Panera was. We do miss our Sunday lunches there.
Overall he loves his school and is doing very well. He is a little tired at the end of the day and wishes school didn't start so early. We were used to a 12:30 start time and this 9 AM time is hard to adjust to.
