Kinder Camp

Yesterday Harrison and I went to Laura Welch Bush Elementary for Kinder Camp! We were able to meet Harrison's teacher, see his classroom and find his desk and locker. His teacher's name is Mrs. Ellis and she is very nice. We were able to observe the teacher's in the spring and she was one of my top two teacher's to request. It was very a very organized event and the teacher's took their own classes on a tour while the parent's stayed behind and sorted school supplies and filled out paperwork. He had no problems going with his class and had a smile on his face as he walked out the door. Mrs. Ellis spent about an hour and a half touring the school, riding a bus, playing on the playground and then back in the classroom reading stories, having snack and doing an activity with the kids. Good bonding time with the teacher!

He was pretty excited to see a couple of things. First, he has his own locker! He thought that was a super cool, big boy kind of thing. Second, there was a bathtub in the room filled with pillows that the kids can sit in to read. Third, and most IMPORTANT, the class has a pet FROG! Their class is the "Hoppers" and they have a little pet frog to be their mascot. He was really hoping to have a teacher that had animals, and he got his wish. I think there might be a turtle or something as well, but the cage was empty from the summer, so I'm not quite sure.

The first day is on Monday, and we'll have an early start to our day. He has to be there by 7:30-7:40 and we'll be walking, so that means leaving by 7:20 or so. UGH! We're lucky if we're up by that time on a normal day! We're all going to go on the first day and then Daddy is going to take over that job.

Anyway, I'll probably be posting a lot in the next few days, so check back!
