BEACH BEAR

Cameron's 1st grade class has a very special bear, Beach Bear, that gets to spend each weekend with one of the students that has been especially good in class for that whole week.

Cameron got chosen this past weekend and was SO EXCITED on Friday when I picked him up from school and he had beach bear with him. (I wish I would have had my camera with me to get the BIG grin that he had on his face when he walked out of the school carrying him.) We even had to take an extra minute at the school to make sure Beach Bear was properly buckled in the van before we could leave.

When I asked Cameron what he had done to deserve Beach Bear he said he listened to his teacher, didn't talk when he wasn't suppose to and that he kept trying on everything that his teacher asked him to do!

Beach Bear has a journal that goes from house to house with him so that everyone knows what Beach Bear has been doing.....

MALEAH'S FIRST DAY AT PRESCHOOL

Maleah is ready for her first day at preschool! She will be going Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 12:30 pm until 3:30 pm. She is also going to take an extra class or two for an hour after school because of my conflict in picking up the other kids. Right now she is signed up for a Spanish class and an Art class that will start next week.

Her first day, though, was a short day from 12:30 - 1:45 and I got to stay with her the whole time. It was fun to see what activities she chose to do and all of the different things that she will be doing in school.

Here she is at home and ready to go......

Outside of her school.......

This is her little cubbie down there in the corner.....

The school has a great set-up outside also. They have the big-toy, a sandbox, lots of trikes and wagons, a lot of running area and a lot of kid picnic tables and umbrella's for eating and playing at. And the good thing around here is that the kids will get to use it all year-round!!!
