Head of Class

At my school they keep the young toddlers in a different room than the other older toddlers. Sometimes we have class together and sometimes we are separated by a glass wall. The main teacher that my mom loves is with the older toddlers not in the back with me. But the main teacher would do all the curriculum for both classes. They mainly have the back room so that they can train the toddlers the procedures of a Montessori environment. They also use the back room for the kids that scream their head off when they are dropped off. It keeps from distracting the other kids. I have been in the back room since I started. We were told I wouldn't move up till I was about 2 years old.

The past two weeks when mom dropped me off, I didn't cry, wine, or cling. I walk right off not looking back at mom. Mom kisses the back of my head as I run off to play with my friends. I carry my lunch kit in all by myself too. I love my school!

Yesterday, when mom picked me up she found out that I have graduated to the other side of the glass wall. I am with the two year old's now, even though I am only 20 months. Mom and dad were so proud and happy to find out. It was hard to be without my best friend, Noah, that I was babies with at my old school, but I will make new ones. When mom picked me up today, I was playing dress up with the other big girls. I had 2 bead necklaces on and carrying a baby.

My teacher wrote in my journal that I am a quiet girl that needs to talk more and that she will work with me on using my words. I am just a shy girl, but there are some new words that I can definitely learn. One day my teachers and parents will miss the day I was quiet. I can't wait for school tomorrow!
