Carson's New School

Carson will be attending Mason Early Childhood Center: http://www.masonohioschools.com/school_cpages.aspx?schoolid=8&cid=138
This school is 2 years old and very nice!!


Today (Monday), we went to Carson's School for New Student Open House. I thought it was a "come-and-go" type deal, so as usually I was running late! We got there about 15 min. late - and the principal was speaking to all the parents. After the principal finished speaking - the students (and parents) went on a scavenger hunt around the school - locating the various classrooms where they would be going this year (I thought that was really neat - but I got VERY LOST - even with a map!!). After each student finished their card - they got a special prize for completing the scavenger hunt. Tomorrow, we will have the real Open House - where we will meet his teacher and the other students in his room. And then Wednesday will be the first FULL day of school for Carson!!! He seemed to like the school, but was a little quite (I don't know if it was because he was nervous or because he was tired).

Carson standing outside the school doors...yes, I was one of those parents I use to make fun of when I taught school....oh well, this is my baby we are talking about now.



Here are some pictures from the scavenger hunt....






In this picture, Carson is standing outside his classroom....


What would my day be like if I didn't have a crazy picture of Barrett in it somewhere?!?!?! Well, today is no different. I needed to run a couple of places after dinner, so the boys stayed with Davy. When I got home....I returned to THIS!!!! He was just as happy as could be running around the place laughing! What will we do with him?

Thanks for taking pictures of Carson's school. Since you are so far away, it helps us to visualize what everything looks like there. What is the big room that appears to have some sort of playground equipment in the middle of it? Maybe the cafeteria? Or a library? In the gym, how tall is the basketball goal? It looks pretty high to me.

I do hope that Carson enjoys his first three days of school this week. Tell him that his Mimi is proud of her big first-grader.

Now on the Barrett--what CAN I say? That child never seems to lack for imagination or entertainment. Hug him for me too.

That is the "Reading Loft" in the Library. It is wonderful!!! The basketball goals are all real low for the students. It is a nice big gym, but everything is little...it is like a "little world" inside the school.
