First Day of Pre K = success



Little Brian has been talking about going to Preschool for weeks and would beam at the mere mention of the word.


I asked around at the Mom's meetup group for Preschool recommendations and they all raved about this one. Brian attends Preschool at the Calvary Baptist church from 8-12:00 Monday thru Friday. He has "Discovery Days 3 times a week starting today so they warned us not to dress them in anything nice cuz it can be a get a bit messy.

He held my hand as we walked down the hallway, went straight into his classroom and never looked back. He did super. I wanted to walk in, introduce him to his classmates, and find him a seat but I caught myself and backed out of the room telling him to have fun. The teacher smiled at me and offered to take the bag of supplies (crayons, 2 types of glue, hand sanitizer, clorox anywhere spray, baby wipes, change of clothes with his name on it etc etc) upstairs to the other classroom. I couldn't figure out why kids had their initials on their clothes and now I know why. I wish that room had a one way mirror. I just wanted to stay and watch him interact with the kids and all. Brian did awesome. He got a good report. A green light so we'll see if he gets all 5 green lights to win that prize at the end of the week. He wants to go back tomorrow. Pictured is Ms Jamie Jernigan and here the kids are to address the teachers by their first name. Mrs Fabreka his teacher was out due to her Grandfathers funeral. First day was awesome and Brian talked the whole way home about winning games, working on his ABC's and not liking girls.


























In the discovery class they had him cover his name with stickers and played the name game. My hopes are to take pictures of his artwork/projects and make a collage of everything he's done. We'll see how that goes.
