Lea tested into Kindergarten. I know I was a little unsure about her going to kindergarten rather than preschool, especially since she has never been around kids her own age other than family on her own before. But after talking to the principal and hearing what she had to say, I feel confident that kindergarten is the right choice for her. I was a little shocked to see her supplies list. Four 24 packs of crayons, 12 (yes TWELVE) glue sticks, 24 pencils, a 6 pack of dry erase markers? When I was in school we only needed enough supplies for ourselves, not the entire kindergarten. We already live paycheck to paycheck, I can't afford to supply her entire class in crayola and elmers.
Even though I mentioned that I was looking forward to spending my days with just my little man, I can't WAIT to be a room-mom. From kindergarten to 8th grade, my mom volunteered for EVERYTHING in my and my brother's classrooms. I'll never forget that and was so appreciative, I want to do that for my kids. I was lucky enough to have a mom that didn't work outside the home and that she was around to do things like that. Plus as a kindergartner, she can get into Daisies :)
