Mac meets his teacher!

Today was "meet your teacher" day at Mac's school. Due to some concerns we had with our public school, we opted to put him into a classical christian school. He starts on Monday and is super excited. Yesterday he received a postcard from his teacher and was very tickled to get it.

Today was fun for him. His teacher is very warm and welcoming, showed him his desk and cubby. She made each of the kids a gift and the kids got to explore the room and meet some of the other kids. There are 13 kids in his class and the teacher's aid is a very lovely lady as well. We got the daily schedule and Mac was excited when he heard science and social studies. His week will consist of lots of math, memory, circle time, reading, writing, phonics, science, social studies, music, art, bible and chapel. They get two recesses to get the wiggles out.

Mac and I also talked about the schools rules, expectations and discipline policy, things like raise your hand to talk, sit up straight and tall, watch with your eyes, keep lips closed, use polite words, cooperate, etc. They also receive "colors" for how their day was with green being good, yellow (time out or loss of privilege), red - note home from teacher and blue - off to the principles office! I told Mac if he ever gets a red or blue he would be in major big trouble!

Monday will be a great day for him, I'm sure I'll be in tears dropping him off at kindergarten!

Sounds like the start of a great learning experience.... Can't wait to talk to Mac about school next week when we visit.
