Changes

The kids have enjoyed many fun activities as their current classroom stays come to a close.  Ben had a pizza party at school complete with ice cream sundaes.  Elizabeth had an indoor "picnic" and fun cookie cakes.  Ben also enjoyed a pool party with some of the boys in class.  

Elizabeth started visiting her new classroom with Ms. Anita, Ms. Sabrina and Ms. Shelley.  It is the same class that Ben was in two years ago!  We are thrilled to be back in this class and look forward to all that Elizabeth will learn this year.  We have also signed Elizabeth up for dance class with Ms. Jane.  She wasn't quite ready last year, but she is more than excited this year.  Every morning - Mom, is today the day I dance with Ms. Jane?  When will she measure me?  Are my shoes and costumes here yet?  We are excited for her to experience lessons as she is constantly dancing around the house.  Hopefully she lets Ms. Jane teach class.  

Ben didn't visit his new classroom at school because he is moving to a new school!  We have so many upcoming activities to learn about elementary school.  It is so exciting.  There has been some anxiety, but as we learn more details it is getting more and more exciting.  Ben got a postcard in the mail with his new teacher's name.  It didn't mean a whole lot to us, but we were able to find out that a friend from preschool got the same teacher!  Thank you, God, for familiar faces during this transition!  What a blessing!  Ben will also be in before and after care with the same friend and maybe at least one more familiar face.  Soon they will all be familiar faces though.  We'll attend Meet the Teacher a couple of days before school starts to see his class, buy spirit wear, and sign up for all sorts of fun activities.  Soon after school starts there are fun things like popsicle night, a family picnic and a book fair.

Lots of changes happening!  We are ready to be past the actual transition time, but so excited about the new things in store!
