Tonight, as I downloaded pictures to share with you, I had to smile. Many of them are a little blurry. They are full of action, movement, busy hands, and little chatting lips. They truly capture our first few days. As a teacher, I spend a lot of time standing back and watching the motion. The runners, the huggers, the helpers, the cleaners, the organizers, and the watchers...each participating in their own way. Yes, we are learning when to hug and when to hold our hands still. Yes, we are learning when to run and when to walk, but most of all we are learning where we fit and how our movements impact others. One thing is certain, we will always be bodies in motion. That is what preschoolers do best.
Welcome to preschool! The transition from summer to fall is always bitter sweet for me as a mom and a teacher. As a mom, I love the relaxed schedule and extra time with my own family that summer brings, but also know my kiddos can't wait to be back with their friends, activities, and challenged by everything school offers. As a teacher, summer allows me to reflect on the growth, fun, and amazing relationships built with "my kids" last year. When fall comes around, I admit that I get a little nervous and excited, spending the wee hours of the morning wondering about this new class and what they will bring to my life. The first day of school is significant. It marks a place and time in our children's lives...a new step, a new journey. We turn them over to new teachers, new friends, and new experiences, with the hope that they will thrive, be happy, and loved deeply. My promise to you is that we will always remember how important your little one is and work hard every day to see them as "our kids" too. Enjoy the last few days of summer. Mrs. Sebetka
