Silas' first day of kindergarten was an orientation day, so Allie and Mommy had the privilege of accompanying him to his classrooms and meeting his teachers. Allie got right into the swing of things, exploring the classroom and testing the equipment. I think everything met with her satisfaction!
Silas seemed to enjoy himself as well, and he settled into his two desks with no problem (one in homeroom, and one in his special-ed class where he'll spend most of his time). The next day, he took a school van all by himself for the actual first day, and did a great job of being a big boy! There was a few tears when Jen picked him up, but by the next day he was already doing much better.
Now we're two weeks in, and things are going well. We have Back to School night in a few days, so we'll get to talk with his two teachers and hopefully find out more about his typical day. We're also looking forward to transitioning Silas to a full day over the next few months. He'll get to experience lots of fun stuff, like art, music, gym, and eating lunch in the cafeteria!
