A Visit to Griffin's JK Class

We visited Griffin's JK classroom this week during an open house. Griffin, although a little shy, was happy and excited to be there. He went on a tour, to figure out where the bathroom was, saw where his brother's class was located, and wasn't too happy about the state of his playground. Not too much out there for the little kids to play on.

Inside, he played with play dough, stamped his name on paper and played with the building blocks.

He has already determined who his friends will be, but wants to keep it a secret (not sure shy??)
but he is very excited to finally have friends of his own!

JK, Here comes Griffin!!

Owen is Ready for School.....but is Mommy ready for Owen to go??

Owen went to JK orientation yesterday. He LOVED it!!! I was so proud of him for joining in the scavenger hunt, not being afraid, and acting like such a big boy! When asked about his favourite part of the day.... the fountain! God they love that, don't they.

I am not sure how I will fare on Tuesday when off he goes for the first day. Or if his teacher will have the heart to kick me out of the class when it is time for me to go. It is just hard to believe that he is growing so fast and is starting a new phase of his life....school!

My heart is breaking just a little. I wish plans had worked out differently and I would be teaching at the same school as he was attending. One of the reasons I went into teaching was to allow me to be near my children. I always wanted to be able to check in on him and not miss out on his assemblies and school events. At least my class is going to be reading buddies with his class and we will get to visit once a month!

Good Luck Owen, I am certain you will be a star!


Do you think they will be able to teach him how to smile??? HA!
