Back To School

Gracie was up and ready to head back to school this morning around 8am. This was quite a nice surprise since I usually have to go and wake her up around 8:20 to get ready for school.

We talked about what she might do today, but seemed nervous. She doesn't like it when there isn't a calendar to look at. Each month we get a new calendar that tells us what the kids will do each day (as far as big activities). Gracie likes knowing what they will do. I think this takes some of the nervousness out of the day. At the beginning of the month though, we may not get the calendar until the end of the first class--so she can be much more timid.

When I picked Gracie up from preschool today, she was pretty closed mouthed about her day. After some prying she did tell me they had cheesy crackers for snack and sang the tea pot song. She wouldn't really tell me about who she played with today, so I am thinking she played alone. She did color a picture and brought home a shape worksheet that the whole class did.

When I looked at the calendar I asked her what "snowman drop" was. She got more excited and explained the game. Apparently they held a sheet like a parachute and took turns throwing the snowman in and shaking him very hard. I am sure Gracie loved this as she loves playing with the parachute at Tumble Tots.

Some more exciting news: this month they start "Show and Tell." They have divided the kids up on two days and they each get to bring something in on their assigned day. We have been thinking about what Gracie could take in. She of course thought of a pony. While I am not trilled with that--she knows everything about ponies and might be more inclined to talk about it. If she took something else like a souvineer from a trip, or a household item--she will probably clam up. So, we will think some more.
