School Pictures Pre-K

Decker's Pre-K school picture!  He looks so old!  
Decker tells me, "I love my school!"
On Monday, he  learns Yoga stances and teaches them to us in the evenings.  He knows the "waterfall", "dog", "candle", "table", he taught us to breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth.
This past month, he's learned all about spiders, owls and apples.  They even had a taste test with multiple flavorful apples and then voted on their favorite.  The Gala apple won the taste test.
He's made a couple of friends...Sava and Stephanie.  The bean bin has been replaced with kernels of corn.  Decker says "it has a lot of dust and you have to wash your hands."  He likes to do puzzles.  He mentioned they have puzzles of Lightning McQueen and Beach scenes. He also likes to  play at the Play-doh table.  Only 4 can play at a time. 
During recess, he and Sava pretend they are on a ship...there is Captain Ironman and Captain Superheros. If you go down the slide, you land in the water and there are sharks, so you have to hurry and get back on the playset, so you don't get eaten. When Miss Shirley blows the whistle, that means recess is over and you come to her.
  Each morning Mrs. Franzwa sings the good morning song:

Good morning to you.  
Good morning to you. 
We're all in our places with bright shiny faces.  
This is the way to start the new day.

Then she asks "Who's our helper today?"   If you get to be the helper, you look out the door or window to see what the weather is and then put a card depicting a sun, clouds, or rain etc. on the big calendar on the date of the day.  We've had  a lot of sunny days!  Hope there's been enough Sunny cards!  ;)
He is loving school, and we're loving seeing his excitement for learning and playing!
