So Victoria started school last week at Faller with Caden in her class and she loved it! Then at the end of the first week we were told that she had to be transfered to Gateway. I cried when they told me and Victoria cried when I told her. She kept asking why she had to leave her best friend and then she would start to cry again. I took her to see Gateway and when she saw it she asked if this was 1st grade school, and where was Rees. So I had to explain again that Rees and Caden weren't going to be there with her, so she cried again. Though she liked her playground. It has 8 swings instead of 4. Her playground equipment is under a canopy so she can stay in the shade, there is a place to play with bikes and scooters, and skitters, and there is grass. So that was pretty neat. And she seemed to like her class room. Come monday (yesterday) she wouldn't let me leave when I took her to school. And since it was the first day of their transfer the teacher said the parents could stay for a while. I stayed for an hour, but Mom and my boys were waiting in the car so it wasn't really a good idea. The whole class is made up of the kids that got transfered from Faller. So they go the full day because that is how our kids were doing it at Faller, but apparently that is causing issues for Gateway. Because Gateway's kindergartner classes are half day and Gateway doesn't do buses except for the transfered kids. The bus thing doesn't really matter to me I won't stick a 4 yr. old on a bus without me so even though Faller said they would supply transportation for our kids I'm not going to do it. Plus the new teacher told us yesterday that Victoria might not stay there because of the half day/full day conflict they may make her class into a half day, but I want her in a full day so she might end up back at Faller. The whole thing is rather dumb and I wish they had figured all of this out before they had to truck the kids back and forth. But it just irritates me because they gave us, the parents, the choice of full or half days when they talked to us about having to be transfered, and we voted for full days, and now they might change it anyway. ugh. We wouild be happy if she got put back at Faller, we have it in the notes to put her back in Mrs. Crow's class with Caden if possible. But the biggest issue right now seems to be if she will stay anywhere long enough to learn anything. I think given a chance Victoria will be able to get used to things and be okay at Gateway, it will just take longer because at Faller she had what she needed to "leave Mom" and that was Caden. So once she finds someone or something to take her mind off of leaving me she'll do a lot better. Sirus started head start yesterday as well. Though I am not completely sure how he is doing. He feel asleep before his day was over so I had to go and get him. Hopefully today is a better success. Though I'm still not sure how okay I am with having both of them gone part of the day. Though it is nice to have time with only me and Logan for a few hours. I am most definitely one of 'those' Moms that burst into tears when her kids head to school each day.
