First Day of School!

Caleb and I started back to school this past Thursday. I am still teaching the 3 yr olds and Caleb is in the 2 yr old class. He was excited to go back and so was I. After orientation on Tuesday when I met my students I anticipated Thursday to be stressfull. I was so happy it did not turn out that way! Our main challenge right now is a boy who doesn't know any English. So, he gets frustrated and cries when we try to make him follow our rules. He has no idea what we are saying. We will see how he does and if he can catch on to what we are doing.

Caleb did great his first day. He got a little tired and cranky before the day was over but he was fine. His class is more structured than it was last year. He is used to that a little from church but I think this will be at a new level for him.

So here are some pictures we took before we left for school that morning. Then I got a few of him sitting at the table in his class.
He is so proud of his backpack! He actually loves the Dr. Suess books now...mainly Green Eggs and Ham. (It has a train)

Oops he saw me. I was trying to peek around his door.
