First Week -- Check!

The first week has come and gone --- I daresay it was a success! The teachers were excited to greet all the students and the students were VERY excited to get into their school supplies! Even though we've only been in school three days we've already begun to learn lots of things:

We have learned how to sit on the carpet -- students are quickly remembering three things: criss-cross applesauce, hands in our lap, lips are zipped. It's not as easy as it sounds!! This was preschool's first mystery box item and they LOVED it.

After we use the bathroom before snack we line up in the hallway. It's very important that we line up quietly since we walk past the Kindergarten room. Both groups of children do a great job of walking oh-so-quietly past their room so we don't disturb them! Ask your child how to make angel wings in the hallway. :)

Snack time is a very busy time. Children find their own milk from the milk cooler. After prayers everyone works to open their own milk, open their napkin for snack, and get their straw into their milk. Then we're ready to eat!

We make projects almost every day. For the first week of school we started making classroom decorations and we were able to paint with spray bottles! It was very exciting!

Filling our folders at the end of the school day -- papers on the "Kite" side families can Keep At Home. Papers on the "Rainbow" side families should Return to School.

If the first week is any indication, this is going to be a wonderful year. We have been blessed with some wonderful, loving personalities in each group. We're going to have a blast!
