Meet the Teacher and Play Date

Friday was Meet the Teacher Day at Bowie, and Lincoln was so excited!  We signed up to volunteer at the Spirit Wear table for an hour, and we helped so many families get their Bowie shirts and shorts for the school year.  Lincoln was super happy to meet Mrs. Bailey and check out his classroom.  He found his name on the table and gave his seat a try.  Perfect fit!!!  Mrs. Bailey was very nice and spent some time talking with Lincoln about Kindergarten stuff!  We told her that he is very comfortable in a classroom setting, thanks to his Pre-School and Pre-K teachers.  He is so eager to learn, and Mrs. Bailey has a great reputation at Bowie.  Great teacher meeting!

We unloaded his school supplies and visited the rest of the classroom.  There is a job board on one wall, and each student is assigned a responsibility each week.  Lincoln couldn't believe that his job for the first week is Trash Collector.  He immediately told me to take his picture because Beau would love it.  (Beau has had high aspirations recently to be a trash truck driver.  He might have moved on to be a mail man or airplane pilot in the last few days.)  Lincoln will trade each week to be Paper Passer, Line Leader, etc.  Jobs in Kindergarten are serious business! 

We toured the school with Linc to get him more comfortable with the office, library, bathrooms, gym, and cafeteria.  He totally acts like he know everything and doesn't need this extra attention.  Great day at Meet the Teacher!

Early Saturday morning was a Kindergarten Play Date just for Bowie boys.  The boys had so much fun playing together, and the parents got to visit and catch up.  Isak and Preston recruited Lincoln to play with them right away, and they had a blast.  Nick was another friendly face that Lincoln was happy to see!  These guys have played T-Ball and Soccer together, and they really are drawn to each other.   

Kindergarten is happening on Monday morning, and we are as prepared as we can be.  Lincoln is excited and confident, and there is nothing else a parent can ask for.  He's the smartest, sweetest, silliest, kindest, most amazing 5 year old ever, and that is coming from the proudest Mom ever.  But it's true!!  Lincoln is going to rock Kindergarten, and he's going to learn so much and love doing it!!!  Bowie, here we come!
