I know. I know. How can this be his first day of school? He’s too young! Well, it’s pre-school. And it’s only 2 days a week.
BUT IT’S STILL HIS FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!
Absolutely crazy. I can’t even believe it. I feel like it was only yesterday we brought him home from the hospital. But here he is, with his backpack and first day of school clothes. What a little boy he has become.
So, the school is really nice. There are a lot of children who attend “classes” here. Jack’s class is 8 kids; 4 boys and 4 girls. Today it was just the boys and it was only for a half hour. it was mostly so we could fill out some paperwork and the kids could see the classroom and meet the teachers. There are 2 teachers.
Everything is really great. The teachers seem nice. The room is small, but comfortable. They have a lot of toys to play with. They have a bulletin board for the kid’s art projects. There are cubbies for their things. it’s everything you would expect in a pre-school, I guess.
Jack really seemed to enjoy it. Mostly I think he enjoyed playing with the new toys. We’ll see how it goes when there is class time and when we leave him there alone. of course, the only time Jack did cry was when it was time to leave. He kept saying he wanted to go to school. I think he’ll be okay.
