Hi all, my Beth is starting this year too and I just can't get my head around it (and Jordy is going to miss her like a limb).
She will be fine, she knows a bunch of the bigger kids because her dad taught 3/4 there last year, so she's maybe over-confident.
When she met her buddy she got a little care package with a letter from her new friend, a drawing of them playing and a little present - cutest thing ever, I got all teary. I can't believe she's so big!
Liz, at our school you pay a lump sum for a box of stuff that is basically everything they will need. Maybe yours does that too?
I haven't even thought of uniforms yet, guess I had better.
