First Grade, Here We Come!!

I registered Jordan for first grade last Monday. Where did the summer go? I am excited for him to be starting school in two weeks. Jordan is looking forward to seeing his friends that he missed over the summer break.We have been using the flash cards I made of the high frequency words he learned in kindergarten. I am hoping he didn't forget too much info over the last nine weeks. The principal of Jordans school is absolutely wonderful. I was able to speak with her during registration. We agreed on a plan for his placement and she asked me to keep in DAILY communication with HER personally. She has some concerns on whether the new teacher will be the best fit for Jordans needs. She assured me that she will take whatever steps neccessary to make sure Jordan is in the best environment for his developement.I have total confidence in this principal. Our school is truly fortunate to have her.
It is amazing at what a difference a year makes. I remember last year, being filled with angst and fear of Jordan going to "big boy school". The faculty and staff are great. I quickly learned they truly care about the kids. Jordan was blessed with a wonderful kindergarten teacher. I believe she made the difference for him to like or dislike his new adventure. I hope he is as lucky this year with his new teacher. My stress has been eased knowing how focused Ms. Colliver {principal} is to make sure Jordan is set up for success. I think everyone learned a little last year. I learned about the schools' commitment toward education. They learned about mine for Jordan.
