Meet the Teacher - Pre-school 2015

Drake and Dakota were so excited to meet their new teachers this year for school. First, we stopped at Dakota's teacher, Ms. Melissa's, room. It was so fun to see Dakota's name on her door. I can't believe my last little one is old enough to have her own teacher and a place just for her. Dakota went right in and started playing with the toys the teacher had out, specifically the trains. The teacher was impressed she was potty-trained already. and Ms. Melissa also knew who Drake was when he walked in. She's been at the school for 3 years and it warmed my heart that she paid attention to all the children enough to know Drake from his two-year old class and who his old teacher was too.
After Dakota's class, we went to Drake's classroom where Dilan had done pre-k as well. We were so excited to find out that Drake has Ms. Leigh Ann just like Dilan did. His second teacher is Ms. Terri who is the mom of a boy who was in Drake's 2 year old class a few years ago so we knew her too. In fact, Drake went to her son's birthday party at his home. Drake loved seeing his name in the beach-themed room on the door as well as his chair. He received a lei from his teacher and a fun bag of treats and play sand. Drake took the lei off as he didn't want to wear it when he went to his seat but as soon as I told him  to take a picture with his teachers, he put it right back on. He also saved the lei when we got home, put it on his dresser, and when the first day arrived, he told me he needed to wear it. I assured him that he could leave it at home so he did. Drake also received "first day confetti" where he was to put it under his pillow for the magic of the first day. Instead, I had him go outside that morning and sprinkle it in the grass hoping for a great first day of school.
