ALPHA TRANSITION WEEK (5 YRS OLD)

S started "kindergarten" this week, a.k.a 1st year Alpha, at Austin Home Base (AHB). Momma was more hesitant than S was about school beginning. S was counting down the day; each day she asked how many more day till school starts.

School finally started this week unofficially, kicking off transition week for Penta-Alphas and Alphas. The goal is to get the new kids use to the routine of school and where everything is. The week's theme was invention. On the first day, the class took apart a phone; on the second day, they made boats and tested them out and today, they "tinkered," i.e. they took things apart. Tomorrow is the last day of transition week. Next week, it will be the first "normal week" and interestingly enough, the theme will be the human body.

Yesterday, S said on the way home from school, "I like school" and today, she added, "I like recess." Maybe, momma shouldn't be so worried after all.
