Katie is now in her 4th week of Kindergarten and so far so good. When we lived in the Netherlands she completed Junior Kindergarten and almost an entire year of Senior Kindergarten. Both were full day programs. I would equate Junior Kindergarten to a Pre-K US program and Senior Kindergarten to a US Kindergarten program. So, she sort of had a leg up entering in. Which due to her shyness, I was happy about.
She loves her teacher and is making friends easily. We have already have had one playdate outside of school. Almost every day she comes home with something exciting to tell me and all about what she did on the school yard. She likes to look for bugs and worms with a couple first graders. She loves Music class and Art. She does not care for Spanish.
