Speaking of school...................

There is a group on Facebook from my hometown. Just reminiscing about the town we grew up in.  It's fun and interesting and a great way to reconnect.

There was recently a thread talking about Kindergarten, and how some people didn't go to K, or went to a private K, or in someone's house, or church.

This wasn't too surprising to me but some people didn't even go to Kindergarten!!!  In my town, it was not required to attend K until 1970!!  I am one of the people that never attended Kindergarten.  But I remember learning to read in first grade with the Dick, Jane and Spot books.

A couple of my older siblings went to private K,  but my parents had to pay for them to attend.

It was an interesting memory for me about my very early school years.

Kindergarten

As I was driving home from picking up my son from pre-school, I thought to myself, "next year will be different."

Next year my little tiny 5 pound baby will be starting kindergarten.

It's official. We signed him up and put a down payment on the tuition. Took the tour of the private school and got a bunch of info for the fall.

We still have the parent interview to go through in April, but I have no qualms about that at all.

The little guy has been going to a pre school and a school readiness program for the last two years so I am confident he will do well in school in the fall.

Did I mention that it's all day everyday kindergarten????
