Guess who loves Kindergarten...

Miss Caysja does!

So this post is a little overdue...(I couldn't find my cord to upload pics).  Caysja started Kindergarten at Foxboro Elementary on Aug. 29th.  She was soooo excited and would ask me every day, "Mom is today the day I get to go to school?"  The week before school started we went to to meet her teacher and have her pre-assessment test completed.  Her teacher was very impressed that she could write both her first and last name as well as read some simple sentences.  She said she would put Caysja in the advanced reading group.  I really like her teacher, Mrs. Lund.  She is very kind and also very organized.  We live so close to the school (about three min. away) and we can walk there every day.  Tues. are Caysja's favorite day because she has P.E. (right now they're playing soccer) and music time.  On Mondays she has computer and every Fri. is show-and-tell.  She's made lots of new friends at the "yellow table" (where she sits).  

Here is my big girl right before we left on the first day of school.

Of course Crew had to be in the picture too.  He was soooo sad he wasn't going to school with her.  He just cried and cried that first day.  He would say over and over, "Crewser five, Crewser go school with Kiki"!  He also really wanted a backpack so Santa Claus might have to step up for that one...
It is nice that Caysja has afternoon Kindergarten so Crew isn't too lonely without her since he's napping during that time.  When he wakes up, she's home!

She was so excited to ride her bike to school.

Here we are about to say goodbye on the first day...I wondered if I would cry... but I didn't.  She was sooo happy and excited to be there and not about to cry herself, so why should I cry?

Caysja and her friend, Millie both have afternoon Kindergarten (though not the same teacher).

Lining up to go inside on the first day of school.

I can't believe I have a Kindergartner!!!  Where does the time go??
