Simon's First Day of Kindergarten

How crazy is it that Simon is 5 years old and starting Kindergarten already! He was so excited to start that he ran all the way from home to school. Once we got into the playground we had about 15 minutes of play time before lineup, then some waiting in line for the kids to all file in. The waiting broke him - he got really nervous and by the time it was his line's turn he was clinging to me. I ended up having to pry him off me and hand him to the principal. But I was later told by one of the assistants that as soon as he got into the room he settled right down and ended up having a great day.

Simon will be in room 110 with Ms. Weisensel this year. There are 57 Kindergarteners at Hamilton and two classrooms. The rooms do some activities together and some separately. As a whole, Hamilton has about 450 students Pre-K through 8th grade.

Simon is in the YMCA after school program daily and will be joining 2 after school activities - Chess and Robotics. The YMCA program does sports, crafts and story times.
