The Beginning . . . Pre-school

Through ECFE (Early Childhood Family Education) here in Pine Island we started evening preschool this year.  Monday nights Addalyn gets dropped off at 5:00 to have some time there by herself with other 3 & 4 year olds...then at 5:30 younger children come so we join her with Mr. Blake.

 

Every week there are different art activities and themes that they focus on - have some 'free' time & then circle time where they sing and read books.  Both of the kids LOVE going to "school". 

 

There was an Open House before the school year started where they also had different vehicles outside for the kids to tour.  Addalyn was loving all the cars - both kids got to sit in a police car, tractor, drive the school bus & fire truck. 

 

 

Look at that smile!




I had a hard time getting her off the bus...she was loving the school bus!

There is something about putting a backpack on her back that makes her look 2 years older! 



First Day!



Blake & Ms. Liz



Look at how cute they are listening to the story!!!  (They aren't always this good during circle time!)

I'm really happy with how well this is going.  It isn't much...but it is enough for their age to introduce them to the school building and the environment of a classroom.  It is also nice because we are meeting people in Pine Island that will be in their grades and meeting new people/parents our age too!

Julie (our daycare) also does preschool curriculum so they are definitely getting prepped for kindergarten.  Actually, this year she is focusing on a letter each week through words, songs, art projects and sign language. Both Blake & Addy are loving this! 

School nights are definitely an exciting night in our home!  I hope it continues this way throughout all of our future school days/years!
