New School

Keeley started summer school on Monday. She will go for 3 hours every day. This is a montessori school and has specific guidelines on clothing. I was a little nervous about this, but, after labeling her drawers, she seems to be doing well understanding that she can only wear school clothes to school. Hopefully this will help when fall rolls around and she has to wear a uniform. I tried to get a picture with her but she wouldn't stay still long enough to get a full shot of her clothes. (She's very into wanting to see the camera.)

Getting ready to go!

The first day we both stayed for 1.5 hours. She did wonderfully and really seemed to be having fun. Her favorite activities were playing with the barn and animals, washing the table, and playing in the cars outside.

Yesterday, she stayed for 1.5 hours all by herself. She was sad when I left but the teacher said she only cried for about 2 minutes and then had tons of fun. She talked about her friend Gavin, eating gold fish snack, and playing in the sand.

Today, the plan was for her to stay for 1.5 hours again and to have the teacher get Keeley out of the car and walk her into the school. I called after an hour and they said she was having so much fun that I should pick her up at 12 (the full three hours).

She came running to the car today and hasn't stopped talking about singing and Ms. Alva. She also had an apple snack that she was able to fix herself with the apple cutter and is very proud of that.

She has tons of fun but doesn't want to leave me. When we talk about me dropping her off, she says "keeley be sad". Hopefully that will end soon.

Tomorrow is water day so I am thinking it will be lots of fun for her!
