Ro's First day of Kindergarten




Ro's first day of Kindergarten went GREAT!!!
He got a little upset when he realized we were leaving...but we hung out in the hallway and he stopped crying just as fast as he started.

His counselor did not make any plans for the day so that she could sit and devote her whole morning to Ro and make sure that he was adjusting OK.
Yesterday (over the phone) I had given her a few key words in Vietnamese that I thought might be helpful for her and Ro's teacher to know.
Upon our arrival this morning in the main office....we noticed that the whole office had typed cheat sheets to talk to Ro and help him out. The teacher even taught the whole class how to say "It's OK" to Ro if they noticed he was distressed in any way.

We received a call mid morning letting us know how well he was doing. We were also told that there were two little girls in the class that stood by Ro and Miss Tila ready and willing to help in any way ...... Too cute!

The teacher also indicated that Ro was helping her with picking up and making sure his area was clean. :) She said he is quite a little helper.

Ro loved the songs when they were singing in the classroom.....he just lit up during this part of the day ......
He really seems to love music and singing (especially in the car). :) :)

The whole school did such a wonderful job preparing for Ro to start. They were so attentive to him and all his needs.
This certainly made today so much easier for Mom and Dad... :)
