well today, hayden's preschool class took a walking field trip over to macgowan school where he, and most of his classmates, will be attending kindergarten next year.
we went into one of the kindergarten classrooms and heard a story and sang a song with them. then we headed back outside where they all got a popsicle and then ran around the front lawn. hayden was quite upset that they didn't get to play at the kindergarten "park" but we had to get walking back to school so the kids could eat snack and then get on the bus.
the school seems really nice and it's only a school for kindergarten and 1st grade which i really like. the preschool program he is in now will actually be moving to that building next year as well, so his teachers will get to see him sometimes. we met the principal who seems VERY sweet and i have been told wonderful things about her.
we had always hoped to be out of redford before our first kid started kindergarten. doesn't seem like that will be happening. but at least i have heard that the kindergarten/1st grade program is actually one of the best anywhere around. our new goal is out before middle school!!!
almost every year in school there has been 1 kid that hayden has problems with. if he ends up getting in trouble, the other kids name usually follows. this year, it's justin. i think the two are just a little too similar and even if they aren't fighting (which i believe they do) they just get each other in trouble. hayden and justin were in close proximity to each other almost the whole day today and there weren't any problems. back in the class justin held up a book and said "hayden!" and hayden said "that's ok, you can read it today justin." then he looked at me and said "wasn't that nice of me?!" well...i guess so, although why would you have to tell him he can read a book when you aren't even on the reading rug?! oh he loves control.
hayden is very excited for kindergarten and thought that since we went today, he starts tomorrow. we've tried explaining that it doesn't start until after summer. september 5th to be exact. and that seems to close for me.
