I thought it was a kindergarten class, but here it is December and they’re all six or seven?

From what they were reporting on the news this morning, it sounded like they were first graders.

I have four daughters and a beautiful granddaughter. I have have my problems in my life, but they are nothing compared to what the families of these innocent children must be be going through. You drop them off at school one bright December morning, and they are gone. This wrenches the heart more than anything else I can imagine. Many of them probably went home to a Christmas tree that already had presents under them. It is just so very sad.

My son was 5 when he started kindergarten, but turned 6 in October. He would have been 6 at this point in the school year. It’s timing and cut-off dates. Seven-year-olds, though would be in 1st or 2nd grade, depending on birth date.

So it turns out they were first graders. Does it really matter?
