Preschool

Charlie is at a new preschool this fall and I absolutely love it. I think he does too, as much as a 4 year old can really love school. I am so impressed with his teacher and Director. I think they are wonderful and really know what they are doing. At least they exude it...

Each week, a letter (and number) is spotlighted and kids can bring in a 'small' show and tell item that starts with the letter. So far, he has shared D = Dinosaur, P = Police care and the all time favorite B = Batman. This exercise has been great, because all day every day, we are now talking about the names of our toys and what letter they start with. He is also working more on coloring, writing, etc. This is not one of his favorite activities as he is much more of a mechanical guy, so hopefully with time, we will be able to write C h a r l i e! Jon always jokes this is why his mom and dad named him Jon, 3 nice letters. Why didn't we think about this? Each one of our kids has 7 letter names. I am not open to Chuck as a nick name either. Matt & Will at least can shorten when they are learning how to write/spell their name.

These pictures are from last week's Fall Festival which included animals, pumpkin 'picking' and fall games. Matt & Will also went with Dad.
Friday was a Pajama Party for "P" with popcorn, pears and other p snacks. This week we have a Fall Parade and coffee for the parents. Fun stuff.
