Hellobee Boards

We actually started after Spring Break last year for the last two months of school, but this fall is when he was originally supposed to start 3's. He goes 3 days a week for 2 1/2 hours. C has a language delay, so this is actually a special needs school through our local school district. He has kids of all levels in his class, and they all have their strengths and weaknesses. It's a pretty small class, so he gets a lot of individualized attention.

He's doing very well so far, he hasn't been much of a crier at drop off, but he asked for Mom a lot initially. I've definitely noticed a new language explosion, although it's going pretty slowly, it's thrilling to be more conversational and using sentences these days.

We started in Sept. It was a rough beginning--he cried a LOT for the first two weeks, and didn't want to go to school. But now he loves it, and when we saw his teachers for an event last week, they said he is doing great and participating in everything and talks ALL the time (too much, sometimes!). I love hearing about his day (although sometimes the only news I get from LO is that they had crackers for snack, lol).

It's going really well! She started MWF for four hours after labor day. No issues at all transitioning. She runs in yelling "hi friends!".

We're having an issue with one boy that isn't very verbal and uses a lot of shoving to express himself. the teachers are working with him but DD doesn't take well to getting pushed and talks about this boy hurting her a lot.

Socially it has been really great but we had an injury and they handled it poorly and I don't think their safety practices are the best so we are looking at other schools for next year.

LO started in September. She was previously in a nanny share. She took to school surprisingly well--she's already used to not being with us during the day so that part was ok. She loves going to school, her teachers, and her friends. It really surprised us.

My son started in August and loves it! He goes every day full time.

It's going pretty well! It was a bit of a rough start since he is the youngest in the class by quite a bit and although he's come SO far with his speech he is still not as verbal as some of the older kids. I think some of the kids turn 4 before he turns 3! He's supposed to go MWF 9-1 but the teachers suggested we pick him up at noon since he was refusing snack time and therefore struggling to make it through the day. That's actually worked out fine for us though and he's done really well ever since!

It's really helped his speech and I love seeing all of the projects they do there since we don't do a ton of that stuff at home. We were a little unsure of sending him this year but I'm so glad we did!
