First Day of Kindergarten

Today was Cooper's first day of Kindergarten!!! He is attending Pleasant Prairie Elementary ( http://pleasantprairie.kusd.edu) and his teacher is Mrs. Kornder. Our first impression was a great one after meeting her at the Open House and we are looking forward to a great year of learning!

He had his first official first day picture taken inside Brewer's classroom at Extended Love. It was raining out when we left our house.


But here is Mr. Kindergartner right outside the school. Normally, we would meet everyone outside by the playground, but because of the weather we all crammed inside for the first day. Cooper walked in with Mommy and Daddy right by his side!

Cooper was being silly as we were patiently waited for the bell to ring.

And the name tag that Mrs. Kornder made for him to wear for the first few days.

But the silliness wouldn't hide the nerves for long. As soon as the bell sounded, Cooper clung onto me and wasn't sure what to do next. It was one of the hardest things that I've ever done, but I pushed him through the door, and told him to have a great day and that I would see him later. When I peeked in on him before I left, he was sitting on the floor curled up in a ball.

Yet afterschool, he was all smiles and said that he had a great time! And his favorite part was recess... imagine that!
