This past Friday you and I went to Aspengrove School to have an observation day in the JK-3 class. We got you dressed to look the part! You were adorable.
We made the drive into Nanaimo and you said "school!" all the way. We met with Mrs. Reay when we got there and she took us over to the building where the younger ages are. We went to observe Mrs. Reynolds' class since that is the one we are interested in putting you into in September 2012 (it is half full now).
You were so curious about the other children and the toys in the classroom. They have all sorts of things and the children are just able to wander around to different stations which are set up for playdoh or crafts or a water table. There was a little lap top and a fishing game, etch a sketch, a million things that were new to you. You were able to jump in and play right away.
After an hour or so I began to feel as if this might be something you would benefit from earlier than 2012. At that time you would be 3 and a half. Just watching you made me feel like you would really enjoy this new environment earlier even if it were just 2 days a week.
After snack time we went to meet Kate Lloyd who is in charge of the 4 preschool rooms. There was an opening for Tuesdays and Thursdays in the JK-2 room starting in September. I would prefer those days since Fridays are "our" day and Mondays are your day with Daddy. I don't want you there when you could be with us. But during the week might be a good thing for you.
We went to look in the JK-2 room and Natasha was there, we saw Henry (Kat's little guy) and Daniel who we saw at Claudio and Leslie's Superbowl party, the Saunders' little guy. How fun!
The ECE teachers were very attentive and with a class size of max 16 and 4 instructors I think it would be a great environment for you.
Daddy and I will talk about it and we will see what we come up with! Can't wait to see you in the school colours!
