[quote=Anonymous]Fellow first grade mom here. I get sad when the photos of the first day of Kindergarten last year pop up on my phone and I remember that we took the photo on the porch and then when back upstairs to her bedroom to log in. She has very positive feelings about last year, and is old enough to remember holidays and travel and outings from before all of this happened. The entering kindergarteners are her school are much further behind than her class academically and socially because some of them never started preschool or only did a half year of it after daycare and before the shutdown in our state (not DC/VA). They also weren’t old enough to start extracurriculars last year- we live in an area where many gymnastics and dance studios only did classes for kids who were 5 and up and could reliably wear masks. Her grade seems really secure and happy in comparison to the slightly younger or older kids.

So even though I’m mad, I look at parents of 2-5 year olds on my block, middle schoolers, or high schoolers, and feel pretty relieved about what we missed. Still sucks and people are selfish monsters for not doing their part to end this more quickly. [/quote]
