Kinder Camp

Today was Kindergarten camp for Aidan. He got to meet his teacher (Mrs Sandobal) and see his classroom. There is another Aidan in his class (Aidan T) so he will forever be known as "Aidan W". By the end of the hour in the class he was already starting to write his name as "Aidan W" :)

The kids did centers while parents filled out paperwork. The kids and parents got to do a craft based on the book The Kissing Hand. The parents painted their hands and made a hand print on the paper, then the kids did the same and put their hand print on top. Aidan refused to paint his hand. So, I painted my hand and Aidan will trace & color his on top of mine in class on Monday.

Several times this morning I fought back tears. When we came in they gave us cards with the teacher's name on it - when Aidan heard his teacher's name he made a funny face and said "That's a funny name." For whatever reason, this made me want to bawl. I can't believe he's got a kindergarten teacher!

For the last half hour the kids played on the playground and the parents were given some information by the principal. The school seems really nice and all the teachers seem very good.

Stay tuned for the total breakdown that is coming on Monday...
