Fear and Nervous 5 year old

My 5 year old daughter just started kindergarten. She is throwing up because she is so scared to go to school. Started out just crying. Now we have the weekend break and she is clinging to my husband and I because she is so scared about going back to school tomorrow. She loves the school, she just doesn't want to go.

Does she say why she feels like that if she loves the school, it may be some seperation anxiety ,give it some time she is new to it, it could be a normal reaction to missing you .See how she is doing in the next few weeks, ask teacher how long it takes for her to settle after you drop her off in the morning ..
