Bayview Grade One

This whole back to school thing has been pretty stressful this week. Both the morning and the afternoon Kindergarten classes from last year got together in the library while we waited to find out which class we were going to be in. One Tuesday there were 30 kids in there sitting on the floor, more than half of whom i'd never met before. By the end of the week, only half that number were still showing up.

Not knowing whether they were going to be with their friends or not, and not knowing who their teacher was going to be made a few of the kids pretty anxious. You never knew what was going to happen next. One guy ended up crying one morning in the hallway, hiding behind the whiteboard and he wouldn't come out. Lots of the girls have been crying too.

I've been very brave when i'm at school, even when someone took my lunch and ate it, but the late afternoons and evenings have been a bit tricky at home.

After a week we finally found out who our teachers were going to be. I really lucked out and I'm now with Peter and Laleh in Division 11, which is a Grade 1/2 split class with Ms Jung. It's going to be great. Eventually.



Mom was a bit wierded out seeing me sitting on the same bit of carpet that she sat on 6.5yrs ago for prenatal classes


My first school lunch. Mom did pretty good for a first attempt. I even got a juice box :)

Fun in the playground:
