Starting the Next Step for Caroline
Mar. 12th, 2008 01:49 pmToday Peter and I are registering Caroline for Kindergarten starting this September. We had a lot of forms to fill out and a series of pieces of paper we need to present to prove that we live in the house in the district that we are signing up in and that she belongs to us. Peter said it was much easier 10 or so years ago when they signed up Ariel for school.
Caroline is alternating between being excited that she is starting school and decided that she doesn't need to go to school. She is so ready for it too. Recently she has been having us write out words for her and then she has been copying them. Then there is the math game I talked about a while back. She is a sponge for information. She still needs to learn discipline because she tends to put her fingers in her ears when she hears something she doesn't want to listen to especially if she is informed that she is incorrect about something. She is pretty good at taking turns but she could be better about it. The sharing thing is pretty much hit or miss.

Well that went well. They did a vision test and then we did the rest of the paperwork. She played with the other kids waiting for their turn to go in and watch their parents sign things. She spent some time in the library and is very excited by being in kindergarten. The librarian is a fellow puppeteer so there is fun connection.
They are doing placement testing later in May so that will determine which class she will be in. I'm hoping that she ends up with some of the other kids she met today since they all got along great.
I am grateful that Caroline had so much fun while waiting to apply for kindergarten.
