A friend created a blog for her daughter where every entry is a letter. It is such a tender way to share stories, so I'm borrowing the format for this post.
Dear Jack,
Today you started Kindergarten.
I am so excited for you - all the new things you'll learn, new experiences you'll have, and especially the new friends you'll make.
The first few days may feel weird and scary because everything will be new. But just like camp and preschool, you'll quickly know the routine and things will feel comfortable.
I can't wait for you to experience a real classroom. I hope you'll love the books, activities, games, and variety of supplies for arts, crafts, and experiments. It is so much neat stuff to learn with and about. You will love it.
You have so much to offer to your new teachers and classmates. You are bright and love to learn. You love to be a part of a group. You have fun doing all sorts of things. Mostly importantly, you have a big heart.
I hope that you share your big heart (and big ideas) with your teacher and class. Trust them and respect them and they will do the same for you.
There are two final things I hope you always know:
Go shine your amazing light.
Love,
Mommy
