First Day of VPK

Getting right to work on Day 1...writing her name.


Building with blocks in her new classroom on her first day.


VPK= Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten...a free preschool program in FL for 15hrs. of preschool per week.
Katelyn attends Discovery Zone Preschool, about 10 min. from our house, right next to our church. She attends school on MWF, 9-2. Just about everyone we know currently attends DZ or has attended there in the past and we've heard rave reviews. We registered K back in January and she took the second to last spot in her class. This is a very structured, academic preschool, which we felt K needs. There are 18 kids in her class, 10 boys, 8 girls, and two teachers...Miss Mariecarmen and Miss Hunsha. So far K loves them both and has been working hard to impress them. She hasn't even received a warning for her behavior. The only "issue" we had is she is talking to her BFF DJ too much at lunch and doesn't have time to eat everything. Her teachers are strict and once lunch time is over, she is told to put everything away...no sitting at a table longer than everyone else to finish. Good training for kindergarten!!
K only wants to wear dresses to school and wears a bow in her hair most days. She has a pair of brown mary jane shoes she only wears to school and loves. Like I said, she is really trying to impress her new teachers!! She is even taking her time to color!! Wow.. well, I am impressed!! That never happens :-)
