Max adores his new school! He comes home every day bubbling with excitement about his teachers, his friends and their activities. Max is easy-going and adjusts well, so we were not surprised that he was able to handle the change (better than his parents). But there has been a remarkable difference in his position at school. Previously, Max would be shy and hang back until he felt comfortable. His current teachers, Mrs. Leaphart and Mrs. O'Neal, report that he is a leader in class, smart, and very verbal. They said they would love to have 10 students just like him!
Going three mornings a week has been a big adjustment for Mommy. I work the days Max is in school, so I know I'm not missing out on as much Max-time, but I already feel like our time to do other activities is so much more restricted. What will it be like when goes 5 mornings a week or when he goes to kindergarten? Sarah also misses her big brother when he is at school and always seems eager to go pick him up!
One advantage of the new school is that it is down the street from Daddy's office. Daddy has already come to read to the class as Max requested. After careful deliberation, Max selected "Caps for Sale", "The Monster at the End of This Book", and "Thomas and the Big, Big Bridge" for Daddy to read.
Max has been able to identify letters and their sounds for a while, but now he is coming home and forming the letters with objects (like pencils and sticks) and starting to write them - and he is so excited to show us! 
His teachers are very caring, but the class is more structured than his old school. He is learning and loving 3K. It seems to be a great fit for our stellar student!
