Ethan is going to Kindergarten!

When Ethan registered for kindergarten, everyone asked if I was going to request a specific teacher. I'd heard a few different things about each one but decided since I hadn't met any and the reviews were all relatively good, I'd just leave it to fate (really you're not supposed to request anyway...). My neighbor speaks volumes about the teacher her child had this last year but...I had been told that she is not very warm - at least not to the parents. Her personality is a little different than you would expect a kindergarten teacher to have but she runs a really tight ship and the kids seem to like her and thrive on the organized environment. At first I really thought this would be a great place for Ethan. He likes everything to be just so, and once he has learns the rules, he never deviates. An organized and structured classroom is exactly where he would feel most at home. But....he is also a bit sensitive and really appreciates a teacher who is sweet and kind and recognizes him - well, who doesn't? So, since registration, I have been kind of hoping that he wouldn't get her as his teacher but...that's exactly who he got. Not only that, but this class is the only kindergarten that didn't get to be in the little K compound - it's inside the main school gates outside of the playground area that the other 3 classes are surrounding. This morning was kind of a meet and greet and the other classes seemed so cheerful and friendly. Ethan's was a bit more formal. This teacher seems fine, abrupt but no big deal, though the thing that bothered me the most - and here is where the crazy parent in my head comes out - was that she seemed to greet each of the children as they came in with the exception of Ethan...she said nothing to him until we went and introduced ourselves 20 minutes later- she really didn't even acknowledge us. There were mostly girls in the room but she seemed to ignore the boys (this may just be my imagination or based on something I think I heard - our mind plays crazy tricks fitting things into the descriptions we've heard). I really didn't even notice this as we came in quietly and took a seat...at least not until a little girl came in and sat behind us and the teacher began to make a big deal out of saying hello. Ethan's face lit up as he thought she was talking to him....as soon as he realized she wasn't, it kind of dropped and he got a bit anxious and antsy to leave - though not upset. I guess being the mom I just wanted him to have the same experience as the other students. I wanted him to feel welcomed and excited to be there. Honestly, I don't think he is bugged at all about this, but as you can tell, I am. Man! I hate feeling so protective and nervous for my little one - I don't want to behave like a mother bear but the personality is definitely there! Now I'm just sitting here trying to decide whether to call the school and ask if he can be one of the kids moved to another class when they even out the numbers. She already told us that she has too many kids right now so some will be moved by about week 5. I'm sure it's not a good idea to move a kid at that point but will Ethan warm up to this teacher - or better question...will I warm up to this teacher???? So far, he tells me he's perfectly happy...maybe I will be soon too:)
