We have a preschooler, crazy to think he is already old enough for school, but he is. We really struggled with whether or not to send him, given it will be 2 years til kindergarden (the age cutoff is 5 by October 1st, so he'll be one of the oldest in his class). Then we struggled with where to send him. . . there are tons of options, church based, private, charter, public, but in the end we decided we really wanted him at our neighborhood school. We don't think sending him to private/charter/Christian schools "shelters" him anymore than the others, and we want to focus on character training in the home, not at school. It was hard to decide, and whatever anyone else decides for themselves, I don't disagree. . .Plus, it is a 5 minute walk (with and without a 3 year old) Today was his first day of preschool. He'll be attending Monday and Wednesday from 8:30 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. There are lots of boys in his class although he said he didn't make any friends today, just played by himself, with a MONSTER truck!! I suspect it will take some time since a lot of the kids have been attending around 3 weeks by now. BUT, he says he has to go back because "I LOVE it!" He played on the playground, played letter Bingo, and wrote his name! I asked what he had for snack and he said, "the thing you packed in my backpack"- evidently ants on a log aren't that exciting. Here are his first day of school pics. . .
