Today was meet the teacher at China Spring Elementary School! Oddly, the event was held from 1:00-3:00 for kindergarten. I took a much needed afternoon off of work and we picked the boys up from their daycare/pre-k early. The boys have been overflowing with excitement about meeting their kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Decker. Ethan drew a picture of a palm tree with red flowers for her. Kaleb wasn't interested in wooing her with pictures. I guess he is pretty confident that he'll win her over with that toothless smile.
We loaded up our 6 sacks of school supplies (seriously) and headed to the school. We made the LONG walk all the way down to the kindergarten wing (there are 8 classes) and found their class! The wonderful Mrs. Decker was waiting at the door. She showed the boys their lockers (which were marked with their names) and they put their nap towels away. They "checked" in by indicating "school lunch" or "sack lunch" with magnets marked with their names. We dropped of the 10 bottles of glue, 4 boxes of Kleenex, 2 bottles of hand-soap, 4 glue sticks, 4 boxes of baggies, 10 boxes of crayons, 8 dry erase markers, 3 packs of construction paper, 2 binders, 10 plastic folders, 2 scissors, 2 paints, 2 packs of washable classic markers, 2 rolls of paper towels, 2 packages of plastic cups, and 2 large towels while they explored the room. Ethan asked where all the toys were. The classroom is really inviting and is decorated in a fish theme. It was a great visit. Mrs. Decker gave each boy a book about Froggy's first day of school and a little plastic fish. Too cute! She also sent them postcards last week, which put big smiles on their faces. Of course we had to check out the playground and the cafeteria before leaving. Monday is the first day of school, so look for a new post!
