{William's First Week of Pre-K}

The day after we came back from the beach, William started Pre-K. I can't believe how big he is now. Most schools at our city require kids to be at least four before they can start Pre-K. William will not be turning four till October but his pre-school teachers and school director assessed him as Pre-K ready this school year.

His new class will have 6.5 hours of structured learning. He will be engaged in lessons and activities in the following areas - Language and Literacy, Mathematics, Science and Technology, Social Studies (including basic Spanish), Creative Arts and Expression, Etc.

Here's our big boy walking our our condo hallway with his book bag.

Pre-ks are encouraged to be independent and hang their own book bag in the mornings.

How stinkin' handsome is he in his uniform?

Pre-k students will also have assignments and projects.

William's first project was to create an "All About Me" poster. The poster includes pictures of his family, favorites and what he wants to be when he grows up. William specifically asked that we put a picture of bacon as his favorite food. Daddy was very proud of his choice!

He completed this project with minimal assistance. He wrote his name on his own and did great even with the big "A". He picked all the pictures and glued it on his own. Mom and Dad only had to assist on cutting and printing the pictures.

Holding and showcasing his finished poster.

• Picture of his family and dog on the top left.
• Own handwriting of his name in the middle
• On the right hand side are his favorites - Atlanta Braves and Auburn (favorite teams), Iphone (device to play games), Airheads (favorite candy), Bacon (favorite food), popsicle (favorite snacks), Lego Ninja and Avengers (favorite characters and toys) and a picture of him at the beach (favorite activity)
• Bottom left is what he wants to be when he grows up -- A Musician
• And in the middle is his artwork. William is very fascinated on drawing rocket ships and rainbows.

Have a great school year William!
