Meet and Greet

Jakob enjoyed running around the playground at school before meeting his teacher Miss Corso.
Jakob went up to his teacher and said, "Hi Miss Corso!"..she said "You must be Jakob S., I have been waiting to meet you!". Once all of the children arrived, we broke off into groups by teacher; we were mixed in with the a.m. class. Jakob had a chance to meet some of the children he will be going to class with. The children gathered onto a blanket where they sang a few songs and were then sent on a treasure hunt to find 2 eggs; once they brought them back to the teacher, she called out each child's name (each egg had a child's name on it..of course, Jakob's was spelled with a "C"). They did a little activity with the ends and then they were told they could open it...it it was a message (below) and a sticker. After the activities, we enjoyed drinks and watermelon (then I was off to work...).

Jakob seemed to be one of the most outgoing children out of the bunch, eager to help and answer the questions. Some of the kids sat quietly and didn't participate. Some were whiny. Some cried.

As we were leaving I over heard one of the mother's talking to the teacher about how her son was going to be going to see a psychiatrist for aggression/behavioral issues (I thought he seemed fine)...HE IS 4 YEARS OLD....
