Happy news! I just found out that DS5's favorite person from preschool is in his kindergarten class. He was so happy he screamed! (He has a crush on this little curly-haired girl. Kind of like Charlie Brown and his little red-headed girl...)

Based on the gifted coordinator's advice, the principal said that I could suggest a kid DS knows well to be in the same class with him to make him feel more comfortable. The particular friend we discussed has older gifted siblings, and the principal did place him in DS's class too. Yay! I put the little curly-haired girl on the request form as an afterthought, without discussing it with anyone, and not really expecting her to be placed in the same class too. (There are several kindy classes.) Sometimes all you have to do is ask! yippee!

Still 2 weeks away from start of school here...
