DS loved his new classroom tour today.
He really liked his new teacher, and was very impressed by a rat (which they have at an observation center) named Neal Amstrong (DS thought that was hilarious).
Anyway, he is very proud and was announcing at our library, that he is going to go to a first grade this week. The librarian was very impressed, which gave DS the idea that it is something special. When he was falling asleep tonight he kept saying, I can not believe I am going to be a first grader!
I let him picked his favorite foods for his K goodbye party tomorrow. The K teacher announced about DS going to first to the K kids and about the party tomorrow, a lot of kids told DS that they are sad that he is leaving, which made him feel very good. He kept telling them that he will still be their friend, just in another classroom and they can always do playdates after school.
So overall, he is handling it wonderfully.
Thank you for the buddy idea mnmom23, I will talk to DS first grade teacher tomorrow, and will mention that. I like that. Although DS already knows 2 boys from first from the enrichment pull out classroom.
