I Have A First Grader!

Today was my son’s first day of first grade. Now I know that he ‘officially’ became a first-grader after his last day of Kindergarten but this made it more real for him. We got to the school nice and early so we could find a parking spot and then the whole family went in. The first point of discussion was the playgrounds. Alexander insisted that his old playground was only for kindergarteners but I explained that it is for first-graders as well. He wasn’t having it so we had to find a teacher who informed us that yes, he uses the same playground. Off he went to play for a few minutes then we went to the bag line as his teacher was there handing out name tags. I found out where to pickup Alexander after school and told him where I’d meet him.

While standing in line one of his classmates from preschool and kindergarten came up and he yelled her name, hopefully seeing her made him comfortable. I also found out that his best friend from preschool is back at this school for first grade and showed him to Alexander, Alexander just said “oh”. Hmm, no enthusiasm there. It was time to walk into the classroom and Alexander said bye and off he went. That was it. He’s now been in class about an hour – I hope he is having a fantastic day!
