first day of school + Q&A


A week later, here's the first day of school post featuring a j-k'er and a grade one'r (!!). The first day wasn't rough; with all of the talk/prep about day one (to Alana especially), there were no tears and only a little hesitation. Hendrik seemed a bit wary and hesitant too, but that's to be expected; after two years with Mrs. B in the kindergarten room he's with a new teacher in a new part of the school (2nd floor what what). He's in a split 1/2 and it's mostly so far so good - unfortunately all of his buddies are in the Gr. 1 class, so it's time to make new friends and establish new connections (in a new environment), something that may be more easily said that done. He seems happy enough, and by the end of the week we were feeling in the groove at drop-off and pick-up. Alana asked me to stay with her every day and I did (just for a few minutes) and by the second day she was telling me about her new friends and what she did at recess (she ran away from her brother). Early in the week I asked Alana a few questions that I usually include with the birthday post, but Hendrik was keen to answer them as well, so far this year it's a first day of school inquiry; here's the Q&A:
