Rory started pre-school today at the British School. She's in Playgroup and will go every Tuesday and Thursday from 9:10 to 12:10. When we arrived at school there was a sign telling us which class Rory is in (Playgroup B) and where her classroom is located. As we made our way down the hall to her classroom we found her name over a hook and hung her rain coat on the hook. We sat down on the bench to put her indoor shoes on and then headed into the classroom. Rory was a little disappointed that her friend Hannah is in Playgroup A, but as soon as her teacher showed her the play stroller she was happy.
Since she wasn't upset at all, I left the classroom after just a few minutes of watching her play. I did wait in the lobby drinking coffee and talking with two other moms for quite awhile, just to make sure everything was going well before I left.
Rory squealed with excitement when I arrived to pick her up. But her teacher reported that she'd had a great day - didn't cry at all and participated in all the day's activities. She even had paint on her fingernails to prove it. When I asked Rory if she liked school, she said, "yes, fun." It didn't take her long to fall asleep once we got in the car. Hoping that Thursday goes well too!
