Preschool

I can't believe I'm just now blogging about this, our sweet big girl started preschool this year! Laurel is going to preschool 3 days a week this year and she absolutely LOVES it. We are so happy with the preschool and we just love her teacher! She is such a good fit for Laurel. It is so neat to see what Laurel is learning and just to hear what stands out to Laurel when she talks about her day.


Here are some pictures from her first day!

It was a little chaotic with all of the parents and kids on the first day and my girl was ready to go, so a picture in the class wasn't going to happen as you can see. :)

Some things I want to note so far...

-Now, a lot of the time, she'll pretend she's reading a book to the class and hold it facing outwards for people to see. :) I'll hear her say things like, "Can everyone see?"

-I'll hear her sing little songs, but I had no idea what they were until I saw in her class newsletter that they have songs for lining up, colors, calendar, shapes, etc.

-For a while, Laurel would hold up a book and say (in a very teacher voice), "This is a Biiiiiible." (She said it so drawn out and so slow! It's so cute!)

-One of her favorite things about preschool is this animal puppet "Juan" that the preschool pastor uses when they have chapel and is often outside with it to greet the kids in the mornings. Ever since the preschool orientation, she was so fascinated that the"animal was talking." If "Juan" is not outside in the morning, Laurel runs up to the pastor and asks where he is. Thankfully, Laurel is pretty satisfied with any explanation.
