Open House

This past Friday and Saturday Travis and I had our open houses.  Travis said his kids seemed very polite and excited to be there and the families were great.  My students were so little, cute, and excited!  They went nuts in the room exploring everything and playing with each other.  I only have 12 students right now, but my max is 18.  The school is very transient, so the numbers change often.  I have 6 different nationalities in that little group, it's amazing!  We both have a couple kids that don't speak English very well, so that will be a challenge to overcome.  Travis has 19 students and his max is 20.  He has a lot of nationalities as well.

My open house was a big deal since it was the first time the families saw our building.  I am surprised we got it all together.  We had 4 days to get everything set up.  It took a lot of long hours and hard work, but we did it.  The parents were in love with the building and so excited to have their children in the school.  We even had a ribbon cutting ceremony at the end!

Afterwards we headed to Bubba's for a few drinks.  This is a restaurant right down the street from our school.  We were so exhausted, but it was great to sit and relax all together.  We were also able to finally meet the other preschool teacher.  She is from the Philippines and just landed Saturday afternoon.

It REALLY begins on Monday!  Wish us luck...
