First Day of Preschool

Emily and Jon had a great first day of preschool, but the reason that I'm so behind on blogging is because I'm their teacher so it was also MY first day of preschool, too. :) I have taught preschool for 6 years working with other teachers, but now that I've started Shining Stars Preschool on my own, I was a bundle of nerves making sure everything was all set and ready that first day. And it's been a busy couple of weeks since then!

Here's the entrance to my preschool. Thanks to Kim for helping me make my new sign!

Emily on her first day

She's been telling everyone that her mommy is her teacher and that Salote is in her class. :)

Juliet was so sweet and brought me a note that she wrote herself.

PS) I had a fun shopping trip and picked out my first day of school outfit, this aqua blouse, a black pencil skirt and black mary jane shoes. I rarely buy myself new clothes, so I was really excited to pick out something classy and professional for my first day.

Here's my 3 & 4 year old class working on their artwork. I hadn't planned on Jonny joining the class since he's in both of my 2-year old classes. I had put him down for a nap in the other room so I could teach, but he was just crying and crying because he heard friends playing. When the boys in the class heard him, they said, "Miss Catherine, you should invite him to our class!" How cute is that? So when I brought him back with me, sure enough, they all hugged Jonny and told him they wanted to play with him.
