Blake started Kindergarten at Roncalli Catholic Schools on Thursday, August 27th. He was so excited to start, until he wasn't. We had a rough drop-off initially but then after school he was all smiles. It always takes him a little bit to warm up to new environments and this was a very unusual way to start the year. I wasn't able to walk him up to his classroom (which may have helped some), and he had to stand in line for quite a while and 6 feet away from other kids. I just don't think social distancing with kids this age will work very well. He seems to really like his teacher, Mrs. Janke and has made a few friends. Jim and I both picked him up after school on that first day and we celebrated with a trip to PK's Beans and Cream for some ice cream (this just might become a new tradition). He was excited to go back for day 2!
