I wanted to check in with a mini update because you have all been so supportive. My son's teachers wrote to me this morning and said that he seems to have settled in and is doing well. He's eating at school, which apparently made a huge difference. He is engaged and participating and seems happy. He was thrilled when the teachers let him give a mini lecture on geology to the class as part of his summer show and share (he brought pyrite). He was especially proud to learn his first few words in Spanish. My husband noted that was the first academic thing he's ever learned in an educational setting, which is more than we had expected for kindergarten.
This isn't to say that we won't have our challenges in the coming weeks. But I'm pleased that he seems to have settled in for now.
We will follow up on the potential vision issues but for other issues I'm going to sit tight and continue to gather information.
