Last Friday was his last day at My School - when I dropped him off and told his teacher today was it, she said "ok, thanks for letting me know." ??? Um, no "oh, I'm sorry to see him leave, but he'll do great at the new school" or give Drew a hug since he was standing right there?? Makes our decision to move him that much more clear!
New school is called Clement and it's only a few miles away which is helpful for when Livvy starts her school down the street in the Fall. They have a circular driveway for drop-off and pick-up and you hold up a name tag with his name and they bring him out to the car after school and sign in/out in a binder. WOOHOO!! Now I can drop him off in my pj's and slippers!! His teacher is AWESOME - young, expecting her first baby at the end of June when school is out, and very soft-spoken and warm. There are 10 kids total in her class which is just what Drew needs. Each day, the kids take turns with certain "jobs" of the day: calendar, weather, watering her plants, setting out snacks, line leader, and flag holder for the Pledge of Allegiance. Today, he was the flag holder!
He said goodbye and they made firefighter hats before 4 firemen came to the school to talk about safety and 9-1-1. Each month, Mrs. West (teacher) has a science project and a cooking lesson. He still goes M, W, F from 9am-12pm like at the other school and this one has a program called Lunch Bunch where you can bring your lunch and stay until 2pm doing extra challenges and fun activities for a little extra a month. We'll get him settled in before we pick a few days of the month to incorporate those longer days.
We're so proud of our big boy - this school seems to offer exactly what Drew is looking for. :)
