First day of pre-school!!!!

Danny started pre-school last week! We are so proud of him! He has been doing so well.

His teacher, Mrs. Kellar, said that he has been so well-behaved and has followed directions perfectly. He has gone to the potty by himself at school several times (big accomplishment for him).

He was the first one in his class to be able to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, so he got his name put up on the wall and he got to lead the class in saying it. When all of the children can recite the pledge, they are going to have a party!

Getting ready to go:


Walking in the front door:

Finding his hand print:

Doing some seat work:

He even got to be Mrs. Kellar's helper on the second day of school!

Mrs. Kellar told me a funny story about snack time. She's trying to help the children learn to clean up after themselves, throw their trash away and put their lunch boxes back into their backpacks after snack. She said something like, "It's important for everyone to clean up after themselves so we can use our time wisely and keep our room tidy." Danny stood up and put his hands on his hips and said, "Yeah...Mrs. Kellar, why should you have to do everything?" in a very exasperated voice. Too cute!

He's had a very good time so far...I just hope things stay this great and this isn't just a "honeymoon" period! I'm a teacher...I know of what I speak!
