The Bean's First Day Of 4-year Old Preschool

Matthew is growing up...and it's happening way to fast for my liking!  He had his first day of school today, which was a meet-and-greet for the kids and parents to get to know each other, the teacher, and the classroom.  He has a lot of the same students in his class as last year as well as some new ones that I'm sure he'll befriend in the next few days.  Tomorrow is the first day of his 'beginnergarden' which is a class he will attend every Tuesday that will focus entirely on reading.  Some of his friends are taking the class with him and he is psyched to learn to read :)

Getting ready to go through the doors of his school

His friends, Jilian and TJ, right before their grand entrance

The kids followed footsteps on the ground and walked through the bubbles to get to their cubbies

The kids spent the first half exploring their new classroom and meeting the other kids

Sitting down for circle time

His new teacher, Mrs. Levanti (who is awesome!) introduced herself, went over the class jobs and some of the curriculum, and then read a cute book

After doing a worksheet, Matthew was thrilled to show his work to his new teacher and then deposit it into his new mailbox

Meredith explored the classroom as well and it was fascinating to watch her "play" the computer-which was her moving the mouse around and watching the arrow move on the monitor
