G started preschool this week. She has done such a fabulous job adjusting to her new school, friends, and teacher. I've dropped her off every day this week, and on a few days, she would run straight in and not even tell me goodbye or give me a hug! On the other hand, she has cried when I've picked her up this week~ she's having so much fun that she doesn't want to leave!
Her teacher sends wonderful notes home every day that lets me know what the classroom did, and even writes an extra note on the back letting me know more specifically how G did.
Here are some hi-lights from her teacher notes:
~ Aug 15~ Her classroom practiced walking with duck tails and bubbles! Ms. B. (her teacher) said that G was excited to try all the new toys in the classroom and that she was helpful with cleaning up! She found her name with no problem and answered a lot of her questions during circle time.
~ Aug 16~ Ms. B read "The Kissing Hand" and they made racoon puppets.
G earned a kidness coin for following directions!
~Aug 17~ G's classroom had chapel for the first time! Ms. B said that G sat very nicely in chapel, but that she did move seats a few times! And, she earned another kidness coin. 
~Aug 18~ G's class had music today and they used rhythm sticks. Ms. B said that G was doing amazing with name recognition, counting, and recognizing numbers. She didn't eat a lot at lunch because they had taco salad! Her classroom painted pictures of the Earth, and Ms. B said that G had a little problem when painting; after her paper was done, she started painting her arm! So, they had to talk about where paint belonged!
~Aug 19~ Today was water day at school, so G took her swimsuit and played with water tables and sprinklers outside! She also earned another kindness coined and played with play-doh.
I'm so proud of G and how she's developing already this first week! I can't wait to see what this year has in store for her!
