Kindergarten Roundup

On Friday we had Kindergarten Roundup for Emmaline. Yes, that's right I said Emmaline. I know, how can that be? My baby girl is going to be in Kindergarten in the fall. Doesn't seem possible. We never did kindergarten roundup with Evan because at the time we didn't know where he'd be going to school. Since we know Em will go to Evan's school we got her signed up to attend kindergarten roundup. All that week she was super excited that she got to go to brother's school on Friday. It's all she talked about.

That morning I got some clothes out for Emmaline, and she told me she was picking out her outfit. She left the room and came back with one of her new dresses. This is what she picked out for her afternoon at kindergarten roundup.

She did well I think. Doesn't she look adorable? She got lots of raves about how cute she looked in her dress. At roundup she did a hearing and vision screening. Then the kids gathered in the library and the librarian read them a story. After that the kids and parents got to take a bus ride around Haslett. Em really loved this part. She thought that was cool. Once we got back to the school they divided up the kids and parents. The kids got to go in a room with some of the kindergarten teachers and do a few activities, while the parents got to go to another room and do paperwork. I think we got the raw end of the deal. Then we all met back up at the end.

Em had no hesitation about being separated from us and loved hanging with the kindergarten teachers. Evan's teacher, Mrs. Mills, from kindergarten was there, and we got to talk to her for a little bit. We also talked to the principal and told her we felt strongly about Em being in Mrs. Mills class so hopefully that will happen. It's one of the reasons we're returning to Haslett. It was a great afternoon for Em and she tells us she's really excited about going to kindergarten!
