First Day of Preschool

Aly started her first year of preschool and is soooo excited! She picked out her outfit, wore her new school shoes and even picked out a Dora backpack for her papers (imagine that)! Here she is walking up to the school on her first day.

Here is the big preschooler! She found her name hook (....it did take a minute, because there were a few "A" names in her class) and hung up her backpack all by herself!

This is Aly's teacher, Mrs. Bernhardt who she already adores! She been teaching preschool for 21 years and is just awesome with the children. She even scored brownie points with Aly today for giving out CareBear gummies for a special treat! In Aly's class of 10, there are 3 boys and 7 girls.

They start off their day with a "Circle Time". Because I am working there, Aly will be the first one there everyday! She got to pick out her carpet square, choosing to sit on the "Tt tree" one. She also has found many toys that she enjoys. She picked out the Mickey to play with while she waited for her friends to show up.

When I picked her up, she was waiting on her square saying "cheese". So, I took a picture as she waited to be dismissed. (Also pictured is her other teacher, Mrs. Satterfield.) They said that she had a great first day and talked a lot! (I hate to admit it, but she may be taking after her mom!) She is looking forward to going back on Wednesday (...it's a Monday & Wednesday morning class).

And.....horray for mom, she only shed a tiny tear!
