I was surprisingly calm and receptive to the idea of my baby going off to school. Eva was incredibly excited and wished that school would begin right this minute. (I’m not that calm and receptive. Gimme a few more months.)
The expectations for incoming Kindergartners are pretty low: being able to count to 10, identify the alphabet, dress themselves, hold a pencil…all things Eva has been doing since birth.
The teachers touted that by the end of Kindergarten, our children will be able to read, write sentences, and do simple addition and subtraction - Eva already does those things too.
Based on these expectations, I’m confident Eva is actually ready for 8th grade.
Bring it on.
So in Salem, they admit 3 year olds to kindergarten. Quite the early admittance requirements.
