{Miss Monica's Preschool}

to......Miss Monica's Preschool!
I feel like all I've done the last week, is preschool, preschool, preschool! I guess that's what I get for leaving it all to the last minute. I got everything finished in my room only hours before our little back to school night. Talk about cutting it close!?!? This is the view from the door. (yes, Ann, Misti & Tierra, that is hand sanitizer in the window... just sayin')
The play corner.
Our art wall.
At back to school night I had the mom's and kids paint their hands and make hand prints. Then today at our first class we read "The Kissing Hand" and added heart stickers, or kisses, to our hands.
Isn't our robot adorable? He has so much info on him....numbers, alphabet, colors, days of the week, months, shapes, even a clock!
All I can say for my first day is.....I made it through it! We had lots more play time than I had planned on and I was exhausted after that very long two hours, but I truly enjoyed it! All 6 of my kids right now are only 3 and this school stuff is new to all of us....we'll work out the kinks and then I'm sure a few more will pop up, but as long as we are all having fun, it's worth it!
And judging from that smile on her face, she's happy.....and that makes mama/teacher happy too!

Very cute room! I promise you that each day will be a little better than the one before. And it always seems that the first preschool day of the week is the hardest because it's been a while since they've been at school.

GREAT JOB!!!
