Registration

Papers, Papers, Papers! Wowzers. Well, at least this time it is only one set of papers and for the last time to fill out the sea of papers to enter school. The school district is pretty small, which I like a lot.  The lady who helped us register the other 3 kids last summer remembered me and asked how all the children were doing and how they transitioned this year to their new schools. I appreciated that and thought it was very nice to be in a small district that it is so personal.  The registration process today was very organized and an exciting experience (for Olivia). Olivia wanted to take her book bag this morning and asked for lunch money as we were leaving the house, she was totally ready to go and stay at big school. (Me, not so much, but her eagerness and excitement makes it easier to process having an empty house during the day this fall)

They had a variety of stations. No one appeared to be in a hurry & the helpers/teachers really seemed like they were enjoying this process and paid special attention to each child as if they were the only one in the room.

 

 Olivia had the opportunity to observe a classroom and to sit on the big bus. The bus driver talked with  the kids about bus safety and a few rules, he also gave them a coloring book. Olivia was ready to go for a ride and wanted to ride on the bus with Logan. Unfortunately this won't happen next year either since Logan will go to a different school for 3-5 graders (with Maddy). So, Olivia will be alone as she travels on the bus for Kindergarten. sigh...okay. We will just cross that bridge in the fall.
