First day of Kindergarten- GoPro Camera

[Deleted]

The school district had a new Kindergarten student wear a GoPro her first day. I thought it was super sweet. 


ETA: Rats, I'm not sure why the video isn't working. It's on this school district's FB Page.

Also lol at the mom who is taking pictures of her kid at the bus stop and her kid getting on the bus.

...and then the mom shows up at the school too. She probably followed the bus in her car. lololol

The schools here actually recommend parents go up on the first day.

My mom did this when I started Kindy, and she literally filmed the bus driving down the road while they are in the car driving behind it. An entire 6 minutes of the back of a bus on home video.

I made it until she got on the bus. And man that song!

Right, I get that. But I was just laughing at her putting her kid on the bus, following the bus in her car, then getting out again. Come on, that's funny!

oh ok..that part is funny. Although i do think my friend did basically the same thing at a different school in the district yesterday.

[Marmee]

I can tell I'm totally a jaded Mom (already have had 3 go to Kindy)....that video just made me nauseous & reminded me of my hatred of school buses. I thought they'd show a day in the life like that Montessori video people post so I was kind of bummed it was just going to the classroom. Lol

[arebee]

What a horrible song. Sniff sniff.

[jeaniebueller]

I am broken. I was like:



What did get me about kindergarten is seeing my DS hope out of the car and walk himself into school all by himself and I would sometimes see him stopping and holding the door open for other kids too.

[hermione]

Crying enough for snot to be an issue. Sigh.

Also, you're welcome for that vision in your head.

[undecidedowl]

Sometimes I wish I could put a GoPro on DS1 during the day. I am always so curious about his day, what he does, who he plays with, etc. The video was cute but I wanted to see more of the day.

[londoncalling]

Well, tears from me.

DD's daycare teacher made a slideshow of her 5 years at daycare and had that music as the background. She had to know what she was going to do to the parents who were watching their 3 month old baby turn into a kindergartner.

[bazinga]

My DD isn't even 2 and I can't watch this. I had to stop halfway through because I was crying at work.

[MamaMaui24]

I started crying at the bubbles. Bubbles! What a cool school.

[spankswife]

Well now I'm pumping for my baby and crying for my kindergartener!!

Our district does a graduated entry for K.  so the first 2 days are 1/2 days and no bus - so the parents have to take in and pick up. 

I have a friend that the first day her DS took the bus (so the 3rd day of school), she absolutely followed it and got pictures of him getting off it too.   It made me laugh.

That damn Taylor Swift song has ALWAYS made me cry but paired with this video....DAMN YOU TAYLOR SWIFT.

I figured that the same week I turn 40, DD will be starting Kindergarten and my niece will be a freshman in high school. THERAPY HERE I COME!

[cincodemayo]

Oh my gosh, I'm dying. What a sweet video.

[heygrey]

Dude. Why did you do this to us?

[pippa]

Crying when the damn song started. Why do they grow up so fast??

[chicago]

Oh em geeeeeeee, the song.

[meltoine]

[blueberry10]

That song is killing me. I was already feeling melancholy this week about how fast my littles are growing, even though DS is still only 7 months old. SOB!

[Bad Dingo]

Ugh there is something in my eye.

[coffeebean]

Now I'm a hot crying mess at work...and DD doesn't start kindergarden for a year!

Hey, I'm only like 30 minutes away from there.

I'm just never sending my kids to school. I'd be a sobbing mess.

[ilikedonuts]

Oh my god! CRYING!

I'm sending it to everyone I know so they can cry along with me
