In Steph's and Pete's cases, no news is good news. They had little to report about their first day of school but were smiling and cheerful when I picked them up. (And I'm eavesdropping on them now telling their grandparents on the phone that they had good days.) Steph's biggest news was that the fifth graders get to have their snack whenever they feel like it, and Pete was very pumped that he was chosen to be the AV guy.
Julie, on the other hand, was not only grinning from ear to ear when I picked her up but bursting to tell me all about her (half-)day. Another part of the unusual kindergarten program we have here is that only the "A" team went today, only the "B" team will go tomorrow (so yes, Julie will be home with me), and then the whole class will begin together on Monday. So there were just 11 kids with the teacher today, which is a great way to do the first day of kindergarten. They had a tour of the school, a practice fire drill, story time, snack, recess, "discovery time," and more.
If people weren't abusing and overusing this statement, I'd say, "It's all good."
