Brielle started preschool at the end of August. She goes to school for 3 hours each afternoon, 5 days a week. There are 15 kids in her class... 6 girls and 9 boys. She has loved every day of it, and it wasn't a difficult transition at all :). She enjoys all the activities, her 2 teachers, and all the kids. She tells us about the stories they read, the songs they sing, what she has for snack time, what activities they do, what her classmates bring for show & tell, and all about the artwork she brings home. Grandma Carol drives Brielle to & from school on most days, and fills us in on many cute stories.
She also comes home and tell us about all the rules... such as
"You can't dip your cookies in your milk"
"You can only have 1 milk, not 2"
"You have to sit like this 'body basics'"
"Body basics means 'criss-cross applesauce'" (cross legged)
"You can't climb on the playground outside if you don't have backs on your shoes"
"You don't run in the hallway because kids are working" (Grandma Carol says she has to remind Brielle of this one because Brielle is SO excited every day, it's hard for her to NOT run down the hall to her classroom :)!
Here is Brielle on her very first day of preschool:
When she gets to school, she enters through Door #2. After this door is where she often starts running :)
When she enters the room, she hangs her backpack in her assigned cubby.
Then she finds the apple with her name on it and hangs it up on a tree to show she is here.
For the first couple days, they wore name tags. The look on her face shows how excited she was to be there :)
Her 2nd day of school fell on a Friday and I was able to take her. After they do the above steps, then they can pick out an activity to play with until all the kids arrive.
John fit right in! He wanted an activity also, and he stayed to play for about 15 minutes. It was a challenge to get him to leave! He'll be familiar with the routine & ready for next year :).
