First week of Preschool

This week has been the first week of Preschool. On Saturday, I had orientation at the church where they hold the preschool since it's a Co-op and I will be helping about once a month (which also makes it more affordable). Caleb did a great job looking after the girls while I was gone for 3 hours.

On Wednesday we all went to the Preschool/Open House day for a short half hour to meet the Teacher - Mrs. Tamez. The class theme is Believer Bears. There are 10 kids in her class. The class is just two mornings a week. 

They got to decorate a sheet of paper that morning with stickers and markers that will be used for their 'cubby' where they put their backpack. Each child has a color and Ann's is blue for the year.

Mrs. Tamez sent us home with Ann's first 'homework' assignment. We had to take a paper bear and put some kind of texture on him. We glued striped fabric to the bear Thursday morning...


Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't fuzzy, he was stripy! That is part of the poem on the back.


Today is her first full morning of school by herself. I took this video... she was pretty excited.  


Kristie, my carpool partner, came to get Ann this morning.

Kristie sent me this report when she returned this morning:
"They were SO cute this morning. Outside the classroom had all this stuff set up for a bear hunt. They were both so excited and both ran into the classroom. They were the first ones there and I saw playdough set up on the table—so they put their backpacks in their cubbys, showed the teacher their bears, and they were off on their great adventure."

I can't wait to take them next week!

So glad to have another way to see pics of Ann Marie's Classmate. That's cool that you can carpool. Such sweet fun pics.

Fun Fun for A.M. I'm sure you guys are equally excited for her. Maybe Caleb should film himself being excited for A.M. :)
