Another summer comes to a grinding halt.
We’ve stocked the kids up on school supplies, fall clothing, new lunch boxes, backpacks and have adequately readied them for the 2015/2016 school year.
My oldest grandchild, Tilleigh, 8, is a third-grader. Evie, 5, is in kindergarten. And while Tilleigh is excited about going back to school, Evie doesn’t know what to expect. Though she’s been in day care several days a week since she was 2, kindergarten is different. First of all, it’s connected to a big school filled with kids of all ages, and it’s a more structured environment than pre-school.
Evie is a bit apprehensive. She says she doesn’t know what to expect. Her biggest fear? She’s afraid someone will be mean to her.
My biggest fear? Someone will be mean to her.
