I've kept mine together and separate, depending on the school year. The first year in PreK my dds were together because there were only 2 classes and one of my dds suffered from separation anxiety. I don't think it was a "triplet bond" type of separate anxiety though. She would've been happy had her older sister been in her class instead of her triplet sisters; she just wanted somebody familiar in the room. At the end of PreK, I asked my dd if she wanted to be in her own Kinder class, and she said no. However, I thought she was ready for it, so I placed them in separate classes . . . she shed a few tears the first week but was fine after that. 1st grade I kept them together because I thought one teacher was better than the other; separation anxiety had completely disappeared by this time, so it didn't factor in my decision. The past two years they've been in separate classes, but the teachers team-teach so my kids rotate and see the same teachers at different times. Also, part of the school they've ended up in the same class. I've asked my dds whether they want to be in same or separate classes. At times they've said same and other times they say separate. Honesty, I don't think they care because they've been in both and had positive experiences. I plan on separating them in 4th grade, but I don't rule out ever placing them in the same class in the future. My decision will depend on what I believe will benefit them academically. -- Gloria
