On Friday Sept 11th Elsie started preschool. She had been waiting for this day for so long!!! She loves to learn so I knew she would love school. She is also social and after pulling the girls out of the local daycare center and preschool I scrambled to find a preschool that still had openings. Luckily, St. Pauls Lutheran Preschool had one opening and we filled it immediately. Emma and Olivia attended this preschool when they were little so we knew it was a good decision.
Elsie is in the Lambs class this year (3yr olds).
Elsie's First Day of Preschool
On Tuesday Sept 8th we had Preschool Open house. We had a chance to see the classroom and meet the teachers. With Elsie there was no hesitation!
One of my favorite things about this preschool (well there is lots of them), but one of them is this sheet that gets sent home-it lists what the did that day and it is perfect for me to be able to talk with her about what she did and keep the conversation going.
On Tuesdays they have chapel and on the first Tuesday they had their bible presentation and invite the parents to come and watch. Elsie was so excited to get her bible. We have already read many stories in it at night,
It is adjustment to me because it adds things on my calendar that I must remember like when picture day is, sending money for offering on Tuesdays for chapel, library day, snack day, student of the day, and right now they are doing a fundraiser for St. Judes. It is fun though and She is enjoying it so far. On Friday the teacher told me that Elsie does a wonderful job of focusing on the lessons and is really interested in learning her letters and color-which are things we already knew but she added that Elsie is a school teacher's dream. I hope that this love for learning continues for her.
