Funny Girl
Larissa will turn five soon which means that before I know it I'll be putting that girl on a bus to kindergarten.
This past school year our district went to full day kindergarten. This was welcome news to about 90% of the parental population. I'm in the 10% that is not ready to let my "baby" go to full day school yet. All of my other kids went to half day kindergarten and it was a nice transition for the both of us to have half of every day to ourselves and the other half apart. I know I'm in the minority, but kids have the rest of their lives to be in school and only 5 years to be "babies" here at home. There exists the option of half day, but only if I come and pull her out at lunchtime. The rest of her class would go on to the cafeteria and she would miss out on the "encore" classes like PE, music and art. Do I care? Not really.
Registration was two weeks ago but I didn't go. I haven't made my mind up about full vs. half day yet and I feel in no rush to make that decision.
Seriously....am I ready to give up all this??
