Cassidy Starts Preschool!
Today was Cassidy's first day of 3-year old preschool! It went very well. No tears. She had a little sour look on her face when I had to leave the room at drop-off this morning, but I watched from the door and within moments her smile was back. She was quickly distracted with some colorful stacking pegs that were set up on the craft table. Two and a half hours later, I was back at school for pick-up, and was greeted with big smiles - she'd had a great day! She has 7 other kids in her class and a great new teacher named Miss Hannah. Miss Hannah plans to send out a daily email with notes from that school day. We already received her email for today, and she explained that today, the kids learned about the routines in the classroom and about each of the centers in the room. They read an Eric Carle book during circle time and had fun outside on the school playground. Once we were back home, Cassidy told me that her favorite part was "meeting my new friends and eating goldfish crackers."
