Last week was back to school time. Clifford is now in the 4 year old class in preschool. He was so excited to return to school. Instead of backpacks, the school prefers the kids to bring a canvas tote bag instead (helps to prevent art projects from getting destroyed). The kids can decorate their bag any way they like. Clifford wanted a "star wars" themed bag (last years was dinosaurs), so i got creative. I printed a star wars pic onto iron-on paper to apply to the bag, and on the back of the bag, i stenciled "may the force be with you". He loved it and had fun showing it to his friends. Most of his friends from last years class are in his class again. He has a new teacher, Mrs. Bowers, who is super nice. Instead of two days a week, Clifford now goes to school Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday for 2 and a half hours. Unfortunately, Clifford got sick Tuesday night and was unable to finish off his first week of school. He spent Wednesday sick in bed. But he's feeling better now and will return to school on Monday, which is his snack day and show-and-tell day! I'm super excited for the art projects to begin again. I've started making "keepsake" books of their projects, in chronological order of when the projects are made. Then, at the end of the year, I laminate the pages and have them bound into a book. The projects they bring home, if they are big, I take pictures of the boys holding their project and then put the project up on their bedroom wall. If it's a small one on paper, it goes in the book. I love doing this and it's a great way for the boys to look back at the previous school year!
