Entegra went to Preschool, so this wasn't exactly her first year in school, however, kindergarten is a full day here, 9-3:30 with a half hour for lunch and 20 minutes total for recess ALL DAY!! This was a big shock for me let alone for her.
She took the bus to school and I did the silly thing and met her when she got off the bus at school so that I could walk with her to class. I like to think she appreciated that :) (Only on the first day of school, though.)
The school had informed us parents to be sensitive to our kids when they came home. Don't ask them tons of questions, give them time to relax a little when they come home. Well, Entegra wouldn't stop talking from the minute she got off the bus. She told me all about her day and her experiences and on and on and on. She had a great time. Relaxing was not something she seemed to need.
I think she enjoyed her first year at school. She made new friends, participated in Girl Scouts and some of the other school activities throughout the year.
After her last day of school, we enjoyed popsicles out on the deck.
