Back to School...for Gordon!

Today has finally arrived -- Gordy's 1st day of preschool! He is so excited! He has moved up from Miss Tara's 3/4 year old class to Miss Bonni's 4/5 year old class.

Last week, we spent about twenty minutes in the classroom with his teacher during the individual "meet and greet." Miss Bonni is well-loved and greatly appreciated by students and parents at Boise Cooperative Preschool. She is animated, energetic, proactive, and clearly loves children. She is also well-known for doing a wonderful job, preparing preschoolers for Kindergarten.

We are very excited for the adventures in preschool this year!

Gordon will have school every M-W-F for 2-1/2 hours.

Getting ready to leave for school after lunch today --

Today was special -- the first day of school was held in a park and families were encouraged to stay and get acquainted with new members.

Ready to go with his field trip vest and a contagious smile! Grayson looks on, supporting "Bubba" on his first day back to school.

Awaiting name tags....

Free play -- Gordy enjoyed meeting new students and reconnecting with old friends from last year.

Story time ~ Miss Bonni read an appropriate story for kids who might get homesick while at school -- The Kissing Hand.

Such good listeners....

Story time was followed by some games, a nature hike, an art project (leaf rubbings), bathroom break, snack, and additional play time. Miss Bonni dismissed class after giving a book to each student. Such a special day...and the beginning of an exciting year!
