Open House

Ahhhh...the scent of new crayons, play dough and newly sharpened pencils. The look of freshly made bulletin boards, friend lists, and a squeaky clean Preschool. But, the sounds of giggles and squeals of "Miss Shawnie" are the absolute best!

My summer has been spent creating lesson plans and carrying out the changes for the Preschool that have been on my heart for sometime now. This past week has been a frantic week of doing all the little last minute things to make the Preschool perfect for Open House and the First Day of School. One night I was there at 9:00 pm getting a new furry friend all settled in his home, last night I was there adding fish to the fish tank and arranging plants around the water/sand table abd making sure all was perfect for today's Open House.

This morning I was very eager to see all my returning and new friends. I received tons of hugs and heard squeals of Miss Shawnie and quickly realized that it was a mistake on my end by not ordering 2 Little Tykes Classic Pick Up Trucks. I have to say I have a wonderful little group of 37 baby ducks! I enjoyed each one of them this morning and can't wait for Monday and to begin our year together.

The Preschool consist of a group of 22 girls and 15 boys so, tattling will be excessive, and the boys will soon learn that "Girls Rule"...LOL! My younger group consists of 22, 3 and very young 4's, the kindergarten group consists of 15 older 4's that will turn 5 sometime throughout the year. With such a large group of little ones, the first few weeks of school will be VERY busy and I doubt I will have time for a "potty break" until after the 12:30 dismissal.

I can't tell you how wonderful it is to have a job that you truly love, are good at, take pride in and look forward to each day. The Preschool, the friends, the families and my co-workers give me all that and more. God has richly blessed my life in so many ways. I'm so thankful for his love, his patience, his guidance, his forgiveness and allowing me the ability to flourish in my work at the Preschool.

If you are a blog follower or a parent of a Preschooler I hope you will take time to check in every now and then to hear about my adventures at the Preschool, my friends and the funny stories that are sure to follow. I also pray that you are taking time each day to thank "HIM" for all that "HE" is doing to bless your life.

Blessings!
