Simi is starting a new phase in his life. He is leaving pre-school and all the friends he has had for his entire life and starting elementary school. Simi is going to Kindergarten.
Simi couldn't be more ready. He's so incredibly excited to go.
He got his kindergarten medical check-up and vaccines. He got his "ready for school" haircut. He chose some new school clothes. He rode the school bus for practice and learned all about school bus safety. On Friday, he gets to meet his new teacher and his fellow students.
It doesn't even matter to him that he's going somewhere completely new where he knows no one. He's ready. He's so incredibly excited and thrilled.
Simi was chosen for the K/1 combination class. That means that 10 of the students in the class are in kindergarten and the remaining 10 are in 1st grade. They stay in that class for two years. Simi and I had already met and spoke with his new head teacher and we both really like her a lot. I don't think we've met the assistant teacher; we'll meet her on Friday.
Simi is going to a year-round school. He goes to school for nine weeks, then he gets three weeks of vacation. He's used to going to school year-round, and the three week break seems humane to us. It gives us a chance to take family vacations throughout the year (not just once during the summer). We all like that.
And now Simi starts school on July 18th!
