Kindergarten Orientation

Parker had kindergarten orientation on the 16th of May. Hard to believe that he's going to be in elementary school next year, seems like I was just bringing him home from the hospital. We walked across the street to Helen Baller  and were greeted by the principal Mr.Parman and members of the PTA who asked Parker to make a name tag and head to the library where we would meet his future classmates. Once we got in the library he had his picture taken and then was taken by the two kindergarten teachers Mrs. Webb & Mrs. Michener to shadow a kindergartner. The parents stayed in the library where we were given all the information we need to make this experience a good one. After several introductions and other nervous parents asking the same questions I had we got to meet up with our kids and watch them get on the school bus. Parker won't get to ride it since we live across the street so he had a good time. They went around the block where I'm told he shouted to everyone on the bus "That's my house"!!  Later that day he was playing out back and the neighbors grandchild Kailey who is  8 were talking through the fence. She ran inside and got a piece of paper handed it to Parker and said call me sometime. Oh dear I'm not ready for this at all :(
