Registering For 1st Grade

Wow- it is that time already... school starts next week! We registered CJ for school this morning. Then we went down to meet his new teacher and see the classroom. I think he is excited but seemed a little nervous. I remember last year when he came home and told me that some of the boys in his class were mean to him and wouldn't let him play with them. He remembers it too because that is one of the first things he said to his teacher when she asked if he was excited for school to start. UGH! A popularity contest, in Kindergarten, for boys?! Here is an awesome article about teaching children to cope with the popularity game...
