Every year in June, we spend some time looking back over our whole year in Kindergarten and noticing how our feelings might have changed from the first days that we started together back in September. Many students reported that they remembered feeling nervous, scared, and a little bit excited when they started school. Now that they are Kindergarten experts, <em>excited<\/em> has stuck, but feelings of nervousness faded long ago. As they get ready to move on to Grade One, I asked if they have some words of advice for our new Kindergarten students, so that they will feel excited about coming to Brentwood Park in September. Here is what Division 21 said:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of new friends at school.
