First day of pre-school

Our High School sponsors a pre-school from the end of January to the middle of May. It only cost $30 for the four months!  She attends two and a half hours in the morning. The students come up with lesson plans and they teach and play with the children. Haven was so excited to go to school. She started asking about a month ago when she would get to go, so we made her a paper chain and each night we took a link off. Today was her first day! Jonathan took her and said that at first she seemed a little overwhelmed with all of the students and kids. She asked where her teacher was. She will not have just one, but one of the teens came and introduced herself. She has her own cubby hole with her picture and name. By the time Jonathan said good-bye she walked willingly into the new experience. Thank goodness Jonathan took her. He said it hit him that he was leaving her at school. Who knows how I would have reacted with all of my hormones a raging. I am very excited for her. I know it is something she is going to enjoy. She is such a social child, and this will allow her some interaction with children her age. She also loves to learn, so I know she will catch on quick and enjoy every minute of it! A lady at church had a backpack that was just the right size for papers, but not too big for a little girl. She was much more excited than this picture shows! Levi had the hardest time of all. He could not understand why Haven and daddy were leaving and he did not get to go. He cried and clung to daddy. All was well once they left though.
