Ellie-Kate begins pre-school-- January 18, 2011


Right after the day begins, the kids enjoy "PE"-- bean bag corn hole :)


Ellie-Kate smiles in her new classroom!!

Ellie-Kate's teacher, Miss Cara, said that Ellie-Kate had a GREAT first day. She listened attentively, raised her hand, and offered to help the other kids when they needed it with their mitten crafts. Miss Cara said that Ellie-Kate was like having another teacher in the room :) She also said that she wished that all of the kids were just like sweet Ellie-Kate!! What an amazing report on her very first day :)
To make the day even better, Ellie-Kate met Miss Fran (Chelsea and Emmy's teacher when they were in the four and five room) and Miss Willy (school director for Emmy and teacher for Chelsea when they were at ACOC). It's so cool that she gets to go to school where people have known our family for so long!! Praise God for Christian education and for loving people to teach our kids!!

Ellie-Kate will only be at pre-school on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings for now, and we'll likely add Fridays sometime in February. She gets to have free play time, snack, lesson time (featuring a Biblically-based pre-school curriculum), recess, and lunch during her mornings at school. She certainly played hard today-- she was TIRED when she got home at 1 p.m. :)
