Preschool Visitation Day

Today was Preschool Visitation Day at Madison's Preschool. This was a time for the children to get to know each other, the room, the teacher, the activities, and just basically what a day at Preschool would be like. It was also a time for the teacher to get to know the children and become familiar with their parents. Visitation was one hour and they did a lot in that one hour.

Once we (Daddy, Mommy, and Maddie) arrived at Preschool, Madison had to make a name tag for herself and Mommy. She decorated the name tag with markers and stickers. Mommy helped her tie the knots.

Next the children got to know the room and did several activities. This is the discovery table and every week it is filled with something different - sometimes it even has man-made snow in it. Today it had colored pasta. When Madison did her scavenger hunt and the question was "what is in the discovery table?" - Madison answered "Macaroni & Cheese." So Mommy wrote Macaroni and Cheese down. :o)

They had group time twice during this one hour. This is a time when the children need to be quiet and turn on their ears so that they can listen to the teacher. The teacher read them a story, taught them a song, and talked to them about preschool. Each time they had group time Madison picked this comfy chair..and if the foot stool was in front of it she propped up her legs. Yep, that is our daughter. Here she is all comfy and most of the children didn't even try to get this seat...they just sat on the floor.
The children also had their picture taken, decorated their birthday cupcake (which will be used on their birthday), and played on the computer. Madison enjoyed every minute of it.

Her official first day of preschool is on September 6th. She will have preschool every Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00am to 11:15am. She is so ready!
