We had the most awesome meet the teachers experience.....Thursday of last week was the offical night and the kids got to go up to the school, bring their school supplies and meet their teachers. Amanda's teacher actually had sent her a postcard with her picture on it a few days before so that Amanda could see what she looked like. It welcomed her to the class, was handwritten and said how much the teacher looked forward to having her in the class 8O . Then, when we got to the school, the teacher had gift bags on the desks for each student. They were full of treats and inspirational sayings. The kids had to do scavenger hunts in the classroom to find things...it was so neat!!
Andrew's room was really nice and his teacher is also really into maps (Andrew collects maps and loves them). Andrew's chair is right next to this big felt map of the world with velcro names of cities, states, bodies of water, etc...and he is so excited. His desk also sits on a carpet that is the map of the world...I think his second grade teacher must have put him with that teacher because they share a real love of maps....and Andrew can't WAIT to get to school!!
The best though (if anyone is still reading
) was Alex's room. He is our little animal/bug collector and his teacher had aquariums set up all over her room. Among other things, the woman has salamanders, an African Millipede (very cool!) and a PINK corn snake that is beautiful. We couldn't get Alex to leave the room!
I feel so positively about the experience that they each had which makes me really optimistic for them about the year!!!!

He jumped out of bed and ran down the hallway to me to show me that he had gotten up with his alarm and then we went and got Amanda up who announced that she "wasn't even tired" 
. They were just so excited! I can't wait to hear how everything went for them today. Alex also started preschool and it was only one hour this morning. He was really disappointed and didn't want to come home. "It's too short!".
