I am bummed about Emily's assigned preschool class next year.

Of the seven girls in her class this year, she's the only one assigned to the downstairs pre-k class next year. Two of the girls are leaving for private school, but the other four girls were all assigned the upstairs pre-k class.

She is such a girl's girl, and while I'm sure she'll make new friends easily, I know she will miss her girlfriends from this year, especially her two BFFs.

The office said they'll see if anyone from the upstairs class is looking to switch to the downstairs class, but I don't know how likely it is.

In any case, she'll be separated from all of them for kindergarten since no one from her class this year or last year are in our school district. I guess she'll just get a taste of the separation a year earlier. :(

Re: I am bummed about Emily's assigned preschool class next year.

  • When DD was 3 she started a 2 year pre-k program with a Catholic school.  A lot of her friends were 4 and moving onto K in the "big school" while she had to do one more year in pre-k and make new friends.  Only a couple stayed one more year.

    This upset me too because it's hard to explain to them why they won't see their friends next year.

    After seeing her in the second year and seeing the friends she made that she'll be moving up with, I felt much better.

    Then I realized, I don't remember my pre-k friends, at all so I stopped worrying all together LOL

  • Awwww. That would bum me out too. But you know she's a great kid and will have no problem making new friends right away. =)

  • Trish, I know, I don't remember any of my preschool friends either. I know my younger sister remembers at least two of her friends -- but only because they all went to grade school together too.

    Jules, it's only morning pre-k, so no lunch together unless we plan for them to stay after school together. The classes all have separate assigned recess times.

    I actually just realized that all of the boys except for one were assigned the downstairs class with Emily, so I may see if the lone upstairs boy's mom is interested in switching him to downstairs.

  • I hope someone will want to switch.  I can't believe they would have separate recess times.  It would be far more beneficial to the kids to all be together, especially if it is just 2 classes.
