Standing in front of the school.
Checking out the playground.
On Friday, we had Bryce and Caleb's preschool conferences. I wasn't too worried what the teacher had anything negative to say but I was excited to hear how they were doing and get some pointers on what we could work on.
She had nothing but good things to say about both of them which made me a proud mommy. She said that they were both very polite students in class, they included everyone in the class when they played and were very conscious of other kids feelings. I was very happy to hear all of those things! She also said that they were great in art and were doing really well learning the alphabet and writing this year.
It was nice to hear that she thought that they were more than ready for kindergarten. We also discussed whether or not they should be put in the same kindergarten class next year. She agreed with us that she thought it was a good idea. She has been putting them at different tables all year in preschool but she said Caleb likes to look for Bryce when he gets nervous. We all agreed that since it was a different school and different environment next year, they would both benefit from being in the same class.
After conferences we headed home to pick up the boys and take them to kindergarten registration. It just happened that conferences and registration were on the same day, but I will admit hearing all the good things about them made me feel a little better about kindergarten registration.
We got all the paperwork filled out in duplicate and then we got to take a tour of the school. It was fun to see the kindergarten rooms, which are huge and look so fun! We also saw the gym, library, computer lab and outdoor classroom area. Bryce and Caleb were really well behaved during the tour and they seemed really excited about going to school there next year.
I am so happy with our decision to wait and send them when they were a little older. Plus I got to keep them little one more year. I am sure that they will enjoy school next year it is just hard to imagine having them gone all day every day. My boys are getting so BIG!
