The awesomeness!

Oh man! I don't even know where to begin!

OK, last Thursday I called the school wondering about the Pre-Kindergarten program. I had sent in an application for Logan, my four year old a week or so before. The guy on the phone said that on Friday they would be going through the apps and by early this week I would know if Logan was accepted.

Well! Friday at about 4:30, the school called and Logan was accepted AND he was going to be in the afternoon class like I wanted!

I wanted Logan in pre-K becuase with his brothers gone to school full time he is so lonely! I wanted him int eh PM class becuase my neighbors son, K, is in the afternoon class and we can carpool!

But that? That's not the awesome part!

This morning at 9Am Logan's pre-K teacher came over for our home visit - that's something our school does for pre K and kindergarten kids - they say it is so that the kids get to meet the teacher on their turf and are less scared to actually leave mom and go to school.

Anyway. She comes, her name is Mrs. F, she comes and first thing - there are NO school for Pre-K. I had figured that Logan would have to pay the same 30.00 fee the older boys had to pay, but no. Second - the kids do not need to bring school supplies! they need a back pack (my MIL got one for Logan for Three dollars) they need inside shoes (picked those up this weekend, 14.77) and one box of Kleenex! And third? I don't have to send a snack with him. The school provides fruit and veggies every day for snack time!

In short, Logan's pre k will cost me about 16 dollars. for the entire year. One pair of shoes and one box of Kleenex!

Logan will be spending some extra time working on his fine motor skills, he can;t figure out how to hold a pencil right yet, I have tired and tried and tried, but he just can't seem to do it! The class has a speech pathologist (I think that's what Mrs. F called it) that comes in every day to work with the kids on their speech - this is awesome as Logan mumbles a LOT, and they are even bringing a music teacher every Thursday and the kids will be learning music!

Logan will go from 12:30 - 3 PM Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and every fourth (or so) Monday He gets to bring ME and we will do a craft of some sort! In October we will be doing a scrapbook page called "My Family" for the kids to hang in the classroom!

The class is has a VERY strong Open Door policy. Parents are welcome at ANY time, and are allowed to stay for any length of time. Mrs F said that if I wanted to come to school every day with Logan, I could! Music class is on Thursdays, the class before dismissal, and parents are encouraged to come early on those days so that we can play with the musical instruments too!

I'm pretty darn excited!

Logan is too!
