Count Down to Kindergarten

The first day of kindergarten can be filled with excitement, tears, fears, joy, wonder, surprise, and much more!  It can go surprisingly smooth and it can sometimes be like quickly removing a band-aide.  Either way, it's a special time for kids and parents and it marks one of the most important milestones in a child's life.  As we get to know each other, make friends, read stories, explore, establish routines and expectations, we start to come together sort of like a family.  It takes some time.  I posted a few pictures of what the morning of the first day of kindergarten looked like last year.  Check out the following article from Education.com for some very encouraging tips.
