Preschool for Garrett and Paige!

Today was an exciting day as it was Garrett and Paige's introductory day of preschool!  This is an exciting milestone for them, but it was potentially cost prohibitive for us to send two kids to preschool.  But, as always, God worked out the details for us.  Their preschool (Christ Community Preschool) had a need for an additional teacher's aid and the Director asked if I was interested in the position, knowing how I enjoyed working with kids from our time together in the Mommy and Me class.  The opportunity allows me to be a paid aid in Garrett and Paige's class, and gives me 50% off their tuition.  What a blessing!

I was a little concerned that they would be STUCK to me during preschool and make it difficult for me to do any teaching.  But I was so happy when they went running off to play without a concern for where I was.  Here they are sorting bugs by color and pattern!

They were very happy to see that their teacher from the Mommy and Me class was going to be a teacher in their NEW class!  They love Miss Jocelyn!  Here she is taking their photo to put on their cubby's so they know which one is theirs.

At the end of their time there, their favorite activity was making bracelets out of Fruit Loops.  Needless to say, they both finished eating their bracelets quite shortly after they were constructed.

I was also thankful that they put them in separate snack groups, giving them a little more independence.  Paige is in the Green Group and Garrett is in the Red Group.  And the Director made my position official by giving me my very own "Miss Amy" name tag and declaring that I am in charge of the Yellow Group!  YAY!
