Transition Time Again

Now that K is 2 years ago, she transitioned out of the infant/toddler room and now in the younger preschool classroom. No more moving for at least another year!

K will miss all her friends in the Squirrels. This photo was taken during picture day.

Here's K's spring school picture. It took 20 minutes including help from the teachers for K to sit still. She kept running away. She sure is active.

It was even harder to have her sit on the chair. Luckily the picture turned out cute!

K will especially miss her primary teacher, Rose. She was so kind and nurturing and greeted K with a great big hug during drop offs in the morning.

The first week of transition went okay. The first day K had a death grip on Mommy and wouldn't let go when it was time for Mommy to leave to go to work. K cried for 30 mins. The second day K cried for 2 mins after drop off and the third day she didn't cry at all.  She still says "Go back to Squirrels" in the morning, but at the end of the day she is excited to tell Mommy and Daddy all that she did in the Raccoons. The teachers are in for a treat. You can tell how mischievous K is already by the picture below.

There are definitely big differences in the new class. The kids are 2-3 years.  The teacher ratio is 7:1. The kids utilize more self help skills such as pouring their own milk, serving themselves, and even putting their own jacket on. Here is K's cubby. It is at her height and within her reach. They have toilets, so potty training can begin. The teachers have the children sit on the toilet every 2 hours to encourage them to try the potty. The kids also have a fitness class with activities once a week.

The yard is completely new too. They have different play structures.

The cool part is they have bikes in the yard.

K tried on her new helmet at home and was so excited to bring it to school the next day. That reminds Daddy he still needs to build the bike that Po Po got K for her birthday!

Teacher Jolene has come to visit K and misses her and checks to see how she is doing.

This is one of K's new teacher, J. She has been great about calling Mommy with updates on how K is doing during the day.

This is teacher D. K was tired in this picture. K has been more clingy and wanting Mommy to stay in her room at night for bedtime. She also started waking up early too. This happened when she was in the Geckos as well. Sigh hopefully it will pass soon.

Mommy will try to get a picture of Teacher C. K's primary teacher, but can't believe how fast she is growing up! Mommy is happy but sad at the same time!
