Rylan walked right into his classroom on Thursday and Tuesday. On Thursday he was showing off his Mickey Mouse to his teacher and on Tuesday he had gifts for them that he was showing them. One of the teachers always takes him right in without me and they hang up his bag and set him up to play. I haven't even stepped into his classroom yet. I think that since Rylan seems comfortable now, I may sort of barge in (at least for pickup) because I really want to talk to his teachers more to find out how he's doing. I pretty much have gotten nothing out of them so far other than "he's great".
On the bulletin board outside of Rylan's classroom on Tuesday was a list of what the kids told the teachers their favorite thing about school was. Rylan's was "stickers" (which 2 or 3 other kids also said so they may have been offered that as an answer when they didn't come up with anything).
Rylan's class hasn't been doing many art projects yet - everything so far has been apples.
I guess they are "stuck" on the letter A still :)
Carter is also doing well. I think the hardest thing for him is the short nap. They are only scheduled to have 35 minutes of rest time (though I think it ends up being longer). He almost always takes a 2 hour nap at home so 3 days in a row of this short of a nap is hard for him. Today he was so cranky that he cried about everything for the first hour after I picked him up. For instance, on the drive home he started crying because he said Rylan made a scary face at him. He eventually got over it.
I get a little more out of Carter's teacher. It's definitely less chaotic at drop off and pick up. She has a very calm, reserved demeanor while Rylan's teachers are sort of hyper. She's told me little details about the day (like Carter was picking her mushrooms on the playground and that she and Carter had a race on the playground). Plus Carter can tell me more about his day than Rylan.
Carter's gone to "big boy school" twice for speech with Ms. Judy so far and Ms. Vicky came to his preschool class on Tuesday. Her notes were great about Carter and Carter talked positively about her being there. I'm not sure what time she came and what Carter missed out on, but he didn't seem upset about it.
Carter's class is also all about apples so far for their art projects. Though he did tell me today that "b is for baseball", so they must be on the letter B now.
Carter has "homework". We have to make a poster showing things about Carter for him to share with his class.
On Tuesday Carter learned about fingerprints. Carter was so excited about this that he made me go back into his classroom to show me what they had done (look at their fingerprints through a magnified glass and determine what type of pattern they are). I'm happy that he's learning about things I haven't thought to teach him yet.
