JK Orientation

by Julia 5/26/2010 10:38:40 PM

We attended Natasha’s Junior Kindergarten orientation session today and it was pretty fun for her (she said so herself!). The kids got to walk between 5 different craft stations and play with play dough, read a book, search for ABCs, do a craft with glue (she made a crown!), and play with some magnetic letters and numbers. Overall, she had a lot of fun but I think she was overwhelmed as well.

We also got some general information on what the kids should be dressed in, what kind of backpack to buy, what sort of snack to bring, etc etc. It’s going to be a huge huge change for all of us, and especially for Natasha, but I know she’ll adjust. Veronika had fun as well, but she was even more overwhelmed with all the noise.

Each kid got a canvas bag filled with craft supplies, and random information for the parents, so overall it was a fulfilling session… September will roll around before we know it.
