First Day Of Pre-K

Taft started to Pre-K on Thursday.  We decided to keep him in the same school that he attended his Toddler Class and Preschool.  They go through Pre-K and had great scores on the state tests.  He already knew everyone there and we knew which teacher we thought would be great for him.
He was in school all summer but his classes were basically Summer Camp with some Pre-K prep.  He was really excited about starting VPK.  In fact, he asked everyday this week when VKP would start.  They divided the kids in his Preschool Class up.  Some are in his class and some are in another.  Those two classes are VPK with wrap around care in the mornings and afternoons since Shane and I both work.  The other three VPK classes are just three hours a day and those kids go home.
I am very happy that he is in Miss Linda's class for VPK and then Miss Daniella (who is a morning VPK teacher) for the afternoon wrap around.  It is like he is in classes all day and still having a great time.
To make him feel like he was having a "first day", we bought a new outfit and ordered a new backpack from Amazon.com.
Here are a few photos from his first day..





And remember to link up your first of school photos here

    Love your blog. Thanks for stopping by my place and for following me. I am your newest follower. I did a back to school post but it is so lame and uncreative, expecially after seeing your chalk board and list of Taft's favorites. Do you really want lame link ups? I will try and do something cute when my oldest son starts school (college). But that still won't be as cute as your little guy.

    1. Thank you so much for stopping by.
      Seriously. Nothing is lame. If you take pictures of your kids, that is all that matters. It doesn't matter who has the most creative or unique photos, it's just about recording that day in your life. So please feel free to link up.

    1. We have to change schools next year for Kindergarten so I am sure he and I will both be crying. You can be happy for them and sad that they are growing up at the same time. ;0
      I hope you come back and link up your photos.

    1. Thanks for stopping by! I wonder who thought starting school on a Friday was a good idea? ;0 I guess they didn't have to wait long for the weekend.
      I would love for you to link up your first day photos.

  9. Do you mean the sign that he is holding? That's a Melissa & Doug chalkboard that I just put his magnets on. The button for the link up I made myself. I made it using Picnik before they got eaten up by Google. ;0
