Today was Haley's first day of Kindergarten at J. Marlan Walker Elementary School, and I think we were all nervous! Haley had a hard time getting to sleep last night, which for Haley is not that unusual, but she did say she could not stop thinking about school and therefore could not sleep. She was worried about not having any friends and that her teacher Ms. Lewis was going to be mean! I could tell she was a little, allot, nervous before she had to go into class because she did not say much and stayed right by Brett and I. I even had a hard time getting her to give me a great big smile! At 9:ooam sharp the bell rang and she walked into her class.
When we picked her up it was a totally different Haley, she was so excited and happy. She loved Kindergarten, she loved Ms. Lewis and she loved the kids and had fun with a little girl named Kayla, whom she knew from preschool. She even did some lunch time trading giving some of her brownie bites for a fruit roll up!! Walker is an International school and the second half of the day Haley is with Senora Quinonez, who only speaks Spanish to the kids. She will never speak English to them or while she is around them. Haley was worried about knowing what to do and understanding her. But when we picked her up she said it was fine and that their is a hand signal she is suppose to do if she has to go to the bathroom! (funny, that the bathroom worried her) Tonight at bedtime she was so excited and said she could not wait to go back to school.
