Mercer became a Kindergartener today!

Here are some photos from the "sneak a peek" event yesterday where the kids got to see their classrooms & meet their teachers before school actually started. 

 
These are the kids Mercer hangs out with the most from our neighborhood. Graham is in the Kindergarten class in the room next door. Glady is in 2nd grade. Jackson is in Mercer's Kindergarten class. (Oh boy. Good luck, teacher, with these two, as they seem to wind each other up!)

 
 
The teacher marked each child's spot with a name tag and a bag of candy.  Guess she's trying to get in their favor right off the bat?!



Here are pics from this morning:

 
their "uniform" consists of navy, white, light blue, and gold shirts / khaki or navy pants.  there's a bit more flexibility than we had at Mercer's previous school.  He now gets to pick out his color combination and help pack his lunch the night before school.

sporting his new (over-stuffed) messenger bag - he couldn't carry it the right way, so he wants to transition to his back pack tomorrow.
 
at the bus stop
 
The two girls are in his class.  Mercer went to the Montessori school with the one in the navy dress (Edith).  She's been mentioned before on the blog b/c Mercer has a little crush on her!

and getting on the bus
 
 
The after-school report:  He enjoyed the bus ride.  Sat with friends at lunch (Graham, Jackson, and Edith).  He made a necklace out of cereal - but it did not make it home because he ate it.  They took a tour of the school. 
 
Overall, he had a good day today!
