First Week of Class

Last week was the first week of class. And it went much better this year. I knew to expect toddlers crying through the whole class. I knew to expect that some older kids didn't know their ABC's. I knew to expect that some of my favorite kids would not come back. I knew to expect that some of the kids who graduated to the 4 and 5 year old class would have trouble being without their mothers. And all of these things happened. But I think it all went much better this year. Mostly because I knew what to expect. But I also think the kids are handling all of the above much better than last year. I'm quite excited that my Let's Go 1 class on Saturday, seems to be filled with really smart kids this year. And in my Let's Go 3 class I have a returnee kid. And by that I mean she lived in the States for several years, and now she and her family have returned to Japan. And she seems to be a really nice, if a bit quiet girl. And my 4 and 5 year old kids classes are completely filled with my favorite kids, so I'm pretty happy. First week in BabyKids class I had them learn colors and then we do some water color painting. And it all went marvelous. I'm hoping it all stays so good for awhile.
