First day of school!







Caleb and Isabelle had their first day of school for the '08-09 school year. They are attending Trinity United Methodist Preschool. This is Caleb's second year there, and Isabelle's first. Last year, Caleb attended just two days a week but this year he will be going every morning as part of the VPK program, or the state-funded preschool program, for children the year before they enter Kindergarten. Isabelle will go two days a week: Tuesday and Thursday.
We had orientation last week, so they both were able to meet their teachers and get acquainted with their classrooms before the first day of school. They were both excited about going to school this morning, and when I dropped them off, they went right into their rooms without even looking back. Isabelle was especially excited about being a big girl and going to school. She has already found some new friends in her class that she talks about. When I came to pick Isabelle up, she didn't even seem excited to see me; she was more interested in getting to pick out a prize from the treasure chest! Caleb also had his turn in the treasure chest in his class. He informed me that getting his treasure was the best part of his day! I am thrilled that today went so smoothly, and I pray that this will be a great year for the kids.
