An estimated 3.5 million children will start kindergarten this fall and, for the first time in many years, that includes a member of our family.

While the school year for most in Southwest County begins in mid-August, the big day for first grandchild comes much earlier, Aug. 1, in Tucson,Latest Trends in Wholesale gucci handbags, Wallets and more‎. Az.

The other day, during our weekly video chat, Alex proudly showed off his new school shoes.

“They have laces,” he said. “That means I’m going to kindergarten.”

Alex has attended a private pre-school for two years, but now, almost 6, it’s on to a public school which,Welcome to Replica Louis Vuitton outlet online store and buy latest replica louis vuitton handbags together with free shipping and best service. in his case, is a K-8 charter school.

Where does the time go? is something I find myself asking about many things these days, not just this milestone.

It seems just the other day I was writing about the magic of becoming a grandfather for the first time.

And wasn’t it just last week I wrote a column about holding our youngest son’s hand – Alex’s uncle, who is now 23 — as we walked to Avaxat Elementary School in Murrieta for his first day.

I still remember taking Alex’s father to kindergarten at North Broadway Elementary School in Escondido and even that day doesn’t seem all that distant.

But it was,All kinds of replica designer handbags in our online store sells at Wholesale price, welcome to buy top quality replica handbags in our online store!!! way back in 1983 to be precise.

Little did I think one day the little boy holding my hand in Escondido would someday be taking his own child to kindergarten to join the Class of 2026.

Across Southwest County school districts are gearing up for the 2013/14 school year.

Kindergartners in Southwest County, and across California, have a new option in recent years with the implementation of “Transitional Kindergarten,Save on Christian Louboutin Pump! All the Sales, All in One Place.” essentially a new grade level for younger kids who just miss the age cut-off date for traditional kindergarten.

Menifee expects about 941 traditional and transitional kindergarten students next month. That estimate is about 1,750 in Murrieta, 1,683 in Lake Elsinore and 1,648 in Temecula.

Precise numbers won’t be known until about two weeks after schools open which, for most local districts, is in the second full week of August

“People who have just moved here may not realize when our children go back to school,” said Betty Cadmus, a spokeswoman for the Menifee Unified School District. “We always get some people who sign up late.”

The decision to enroll a child in TK, or regular kindergarten for that matter, is up to parents.

A recent federal study espoused what seems to be the obvious; children who attend some sort of pre-school do better in kindergarten than those who don’t.

The study also found girl’s score higher than boys in the initial reading assessments but scores were just about even when it came to math and science.

In addition, one quarter of first-time kindergartners lived in households with incomes below the federal poverty level and 15 percent lived in a home where English was not the primary language.

Finally, the education level of parents plays a role, with children whose parents have college and post-graduate educations starting kindergarten with higher reading levels than those whose parents had not completed high school.

Federal studies aside, when we chatted last week Alex, who knows his numbers and the alphabet, is excited about starting kindergarten with the exception of one obstacle standing in his way .

“I have to learn to tie my laces first,” he said.
