Marco's preschool

Marco and his "gaggle of girls".

Julio said, "Viva la raza!" when he saw this picture. It's Marco's official first day of preschool.

This year I am doing a co-op preschool with some other mom's from our ward (church). We take turns teaching at our house two days a week-so it works out to be our turn every 5 weeks or so. Marco was very excited and ready to start. Unlike Lucia, he didn't care about his outfit-he picked out his own and wore old, mismatched clothes instead of new ones. This week was our turn to teach. It went well. We do circle time and say the Pledge, sing songs, go over the calendar, ABC's and nursery rhymes. Then we do our letter of the week and practice writing/coloring it. Then we do free play. I got out puzzles, dress ups, play dough, but the kids would rather play outside. Then we have a snack. Finally, we do our theme (this week is dinosaurs) and read a story and do a project. Then the kids played some more. They had fun and it was pretty easy. We'll be doing some fun fieldtrips as well. Sylvie enjoyed being in the action too. Looks it will be a fun preschool year!
