First Day of School

This morning was Kyle's first day of his new preschool. According to his teacher he had a great day! I'm so relieved and happy he did well with the new environment! John and I walked him to the classroom so he could tour the room, meet his teacher and the two assistants. At first, he was a bit shy and clung to my leg, but within a minute or two he was comfortable.
The classroom is divided into activities...art, library, pretend, discovery, and blocks. Kyle has a "blue book" which is sent home with him each day. This book will outline what he worked on in school that day and will also include notes from his teacher and therapists. We will make notations in the book as well with any information or questions we may have. Typically, I won't walk him into the classroom. There is a drop off and pick up area designated for his class.
Granted, it has only been one day, but I feel certain he will fit right in and feel comfortable in the new school surroundings. We will have a parent/teacher conference within the next couple of weeks to touch base with the teachers and therapists to see how he is doing. Tomorrow is picture day so hopefully he will smile for the camera!
