Meet the Teacher

We are back from Utah and I still haven't posted about our trip to Georgia...I'm way behind! I will do my best to get caught up, but first I need to post about the Big Deal today: meeting Caralie's kindergarten teacher!

We were met by a frog at the door to her room:


And then we met Mrs. Haynie:


We love, love, love Mrs. Haynie! She is going to be a wonderful teacher for Caralie. She has the room all decorated and ready for learning:


We found Caralie's "desk" and discovered that she sits next to a boy from her Primary class.


One of her "assignments" was to color her "eyes" and add them to the chart:


Here's another shot of the room, looking towards the door:


They have 5 computers in her room, but Caralie was more excited that her class gets their very own bathroom!


Here she is pointing to her name on the classroom wall:


I'm thinking Mrs. Haynie likes frogs. There were frogs everywhere. Apparently the class will be growing a frog from a tadpole and may even hatch a baby chicken as well.

We took a quick tour of the Media Center and found where the kindergarten class sits for Story Time:


And we were pleased to be introduced to Bert and Ernie, the aquatic residents of the Media Center:


Bert is 9 years old and sprouted a giant tumor last year. Ernie is only 3 years old and is the smaller fish of the two.

Our next stop was the gymnasium/multi-purpose room where I signed up for the PTA and bought Caralie a school T-shirt. She doesn't like it and I don't blame her. It looks like a boy's fugly graphic tee. Not sure what they were thinking...? I'll have to take a photo of it some time so you can see what I mean.

Overall, the experience was great and I feel so much better knowing who's hands I am turning my child over to. I have a really good feeling about Mrs. Haynie and I know Caralie likes her already.


Of course I will still be a wuss on Wednesday morning...
