[quote=Anonymous]We had a handful of new kids in 3rd due to some unexpected relocations and they fit in so well that we often forget they weren’t there from day 1. It helped rebalance social stuff and kids were really happy to have a chance to make new friends. I think that at most schools by 3rd grade things feel a little stale and a new kid or two is a welcome change. We did group outings for the first few social things with DD’s new classmate (kid-friendly haunted house, trampoline place) before we switched to playdates at each others’ houses. It probably transitioned faster because the mom and I volunteered for Girl Scouts together so we both spent some time together and that accelerated feeling safe about home playdates and outings.[/quote]
