Kindergarten Orientation

After having a fun weekend, we got to start off the week, with something pretty exciting for Andrew - Kindergarten Orientation. The parents got to sit & listen to things about what our kids days will be like, and what to expect once school starts, while the kids (20 of them) were in a classroom having informal evaluations done. Andrew was super excited, and did great. He didn't even seem to notice that we came back into the room to get him....he was too busy checking things out, and asking one of the neighbor girls about their trampoline :) We took it as a good sign, and that it shows he's ready to start school. He was the 1st one to go thru orientation in his preschool class, so once we dropped him everyone was curious how it went, and what to expect. His teacher said he did a great job answering everyone's questions. Right now his class size is expected to be 20 kids, which is double the size of his preschool class, but not as large as other classes (some have 29-30 kids!). There will be 4 classes of kindergarten students at his school, with 20 kids each. He's very excited about starting school, and keeps going over the time line of when he starts.....after his birthday, after vacation, in the fall....at least he's excited :)
