Jaxton's First Day of Kindergarten



Jaxton started Kindergarten!  I can hardly believe it!  He has been so excited, ever since we moved into our house 2 years ago to go to Kindergarten across the street at Cedarville Elementary School.  So when the day arrived, it was joyous!! We had been school shopping for clothes and for supplies and new shoes.  He got a haircut, his favorite Transformers backpack, and there was no nagging or persuasion needed to get him up and going on that first day of school!  He is more than ready for Kindergarten.  He has almost finished the Distar reading method book with me and can read full pages by sounding out sounds to make words.  He loves math and loves to add numbers together.  He is to the point now where he says things like “3 tens makes thirty” or “3 threes makes nine.”  So, yes, in essence, he is multiplying!  Smart Kid!  I am excited for him to thrive academically, but also make new friends and have some great experiences in Kindergarten.  His teacher is Mrs. Hensch an older teacher that has taught for many years.  His class has 32 kids in it!! But they are hoping to hire another teacher to bring the class sizes down to 25 or 26.  I love how confident Jaxton is in new situations.  He has never been nervous or scared or cried or anything of the sort in new situations and I’m so glad that he is excited for this big day!
