Last night was Sneak-A-Peak Night at Sawyer's new school! This was a little different from Kindergarten round up because we were able to meet his specific teacher and see exactly which room he was going to be in. The kids have been divided into two groups and half of them will come Tuesday and Wednesday, then the other group will be there on Thursday and Friday and they will all be there together on the following Monday. They wanted to keep the groups small so it wasn't so overwhelming on the first day-Which I think is a great idea! Anyway, they started out the evening with a dinner from The Pancake Man! He had the coolest and biggest pancake griddle ever! He would just slide the batter over the griddle and it would pour out perfectly sized pancakes!
We sat in the gym/cafeteria where Sawyer will be eating lunch everyday! While we were eating, this other family came and sat down with their kindergartner who was VERY out going and introduced himself to Sawyer right away. (Sawyer would neeeeever do that!) He and his new buddy Grayson unfortunately aren't going to be in the same room together but at least he'll have a familiar face to look for on the playground!
We navigated ourselves through all the hallways to the Kindergarten wing and found his class!
Sawyer walked around until he found his seat and started looking through the welcome back that his teacher had laid out for him. (He was pretty excited about his name tag too!)
Mrs. Johnson came right over and introduced herself to us and started telling Sawyer about all the fun and exciting things she had planned for the next week! She was soooo sweet and we are really excited to have her as his teacher! (Note: as soon as we walked out of the classroom, Sawyer says, "Our hair looks the same!" Ahahahah!)
Checking out the bathroom pass......
In the mornings the kids decide what kind of lunch they will be having : Hot lunch, lunch from home, salad bar or yogurt lunch (which I think is just weird, but knowing Sawyer, he would LOVE the yogurt lunch...) They put their stick in the bucket for whatever lunch they decide on....
After looking around and getting a feel for the place, we headed out back to the playground. Sawyer and Grayson spotted each other right away and took the place by storm! (Grayson is the little boy in the black shirt, next to Sawyer) They twisted each other up on the swings, dumped sand on each other, rode the zip lines and found the only two big rocks on the entire playground and put them in their pockets...I foresee rascaliness in their future!
The evening was meant to get everyone excited for the start of the school year next week and it did just that!
Sawyer is just aching to get started :)
