First day of school

Took Jake to school this morning, for his first day of kindergarten.

It was a bit chaotic. The kids were excited about going to school (except for one who cried & clung to Mama), while the parents tried to get all the kids’ gear (backpacks, lunches) and classroom supplies (hand sanitizer, markers, etc., etc. – the list was quite long) put away. The teacher tried to keep everything as orderly as possible.

A few parents brought cameras. (I did.) I have a nice picture of Jake sitting at one of the tables, ready to get started.

Thus begins Jake’s education: an adventure that won’t finish until 2023, more or less.

(Last night, Jake asked, "Is kindergarten a garden of kinders?" Indeed it is, Jake.)
