Pre-school begins!
By JoAnne Pastel, President and founder, Farmer’s Hat Productions co-author Bur Bur and Friends book series
We’ve reached another milestone in my son’s life: his first few days of pre-school! It made me realize how incredibly resilient children are.
He went off to a new place, with new people and a new schedule to learn. And he came home excited, enthusiastic and ready to go back the next day!
At my son’s school, at orientation earlier in the summer, the children planted seeds in the garden. On the first day, they revisited the garden to find corn and carrots and other vegetables.
The kids were jubilant to discover and explore the rewards of their planting efforts. And of course Bur Bur was excited saying, “Let’s eat the corn and carrots!”
The first two days of pre-school underscored exactly what Farmer’s Hat Productions is all about: Inspiring young kids to be active, embrace a diverse group of friends and explore their world.
We’d love to hear anecdotes from others who are transitioning back-to-school.
What new “wisdom” did your child share after the first day? Were they anxious or excited to meet new friends? What did the teacher do to make them feel welcome at their new classroom? Did you encounter any challenges?
