Fast forward to grade one
I have suspended blogging for a while but just couldn’t let this go without posting something about it…before she actually walks into the classroom for the first time. In less than12 hours, Darling Angel will be walking into her grade one class at a new school. She’s excited and she’s told anyone who cares to listen that “I’m skipping kindergarten” like it’s a badge of honor.
I’m excited too but I’m also apprehensive, I’ve got butterflies in my tummy. How well will she cope in grade one? Well, she demonstrated that she can cope at that grade level before she was admitted so I shouldn’t be worried. It’s just first day jitters. Did I miss out anything on her supply list? Better cross check everything? Instructions said to label all supplies. Do I label each crayon? I decided that was silly (after an internal debate with self) and only labeled the box. But I did label each pencil. Hmm, will that get her laughed at? Ah, perhaps I’m getting to the root of my apprehension? Perhaps it has nothing to do Darling Angel’s ability to cope? I’m afraid that I will do (or not do) something to embarass her. Where did that come from? I wonder. Regardless, I will be walking her to her classroom tomorrow morning, camera in hand, taking snapshots of every single move she makes.
Better go to bed, we don’t want to be late. And a good breakfast is a must, no flying out the door with a pop tart in hand.
