First Day of School!

Well, we survived the first week of school! It was exhausting for all of us. Everything went so well. I couldn't have planned it better myself! The teachers are doing a fantastic job! I am just amazed at the work that everyone has put in to make this week run so smoothly. I am also just totally amazed at the tremendous growth within the school. We ended the year with 81 students enrolled and began this year with 92 students! Of the 81, we lost a little over 40 of them to kindergarten and families moving. I am just thrilled by this! Plus, this is just the beginning of the third year that we have been open. We were looking back at the fire drill records and at this time in 2007 there were 33 students and 6 teachers that participated and this year we had 63 students and 11 teachers! Our program runs on a MWF, T/TH, or M-F basis, so that is why we have 92 enrolled and only 63 that particular day.

Andrew and Madelyn have enjoyed getting back to school- not that they really even left! They have some new friends in their classrooms and are really having a lot of fun...and sleeping great!

This is about as good as it got for me, Madelyn was done!

She was ready to have breakfast!

This is her signature face anytime I come to the door of her classroom!

Andrew enjoyed getting to paint! He loves watercolors!

Watching his friends paint.

This is what Andrew does anytime I walk by and he is on the playground...depending on his mood. Some days I do get totally ignored!
