Meet the teachers

Tomorrow is Lexi's first day of school!
Not sure how in the world it came quite so fast -
but Pre-K 4's...here she comes.

We spent much of June and July
deciding which school would be the best fit.
We already had her registered for one over in Preston Hollow.
In fact, that was the very first thing we did
when we found out we were moving.
And while it seems like a super sweet and strong program,
and even though Ryleigh will still go there once a week
for Parent's Day Out,
this momma just didn't think a 15 minute drive both ways -
5 times a week for a three hour school day - made much sense for anyone.

And so we talked with friends,
we talked with the kindergarten teachers at the elementary school
and we talked with neighbors.
Surprisingly, several schools still had spots available.
We went on a bunch of tours, we visited all the playgrounds,
we toured the classrooms and learned about the different curriculums.
In the end, it's still just Pre-K,
and so, we simply picked the school we thought Lexi would be happiest at.

It has been around for decades.
It has a really strong reputation.
It has many UP families that will all move on to the same elementary school next year.
If you ask Lexi, she'll tell you that it is really pretty and has several playgrounds!
And it also happens to be five minutes from the house :)

We had the chance to meet Miss Lauren and the class last week.
Ten kids total, many of them little girls,
including two "friends of friends"
We filled out our special "All About Me" info sheet.
We brought in our family picture like we were asked.
The children got to know each other and work on a craft
while the parents were briefed on all the policies and procedures.
Despite being shy when I dropped her off,
she seemed like she had acclimated well by the time I picked her up.
She was busy playing dress up with two other buddies when I peeked in the door.
And then she ran up to me with a huge smile.
Pre-K...here we come.
But not before a little Krispy Kreme celebration!
