[quote=Anonymous]My son starts this Fall also.  From what I have heard from other parents whose children started last year, they are really truly exhausted.  And these are parents whose kids go to our full day preschool (kids who are there from 9am to 5pm).  From what the teachers at the preschool told me, its less about physical exhaustion and more about the energy it takes to pay attention all day long.  Even though they are at preschool, I guess its a different level of paying attention.  I really fear it, given my son is exhausted now.  I also think it has to do with not giving them enough time to blow off steam and run around.

I also wonder what to expect it terms of the relationship with the teacher. Now, I see our teachers daily (at pick up), and we get daily letters. and e-mails when needed.  At K, my son will ride the bus and then I pick up him at extended day.  How do parents feel connected?  Or does this just fall into the "its time to cut the apron strings" categories?  I'm less concerned about knowing every little thing, and more concerned with knowing if my son is adusting OK, acting out, crying, getting picked on, etc.  [/quote]
