Avery Play Day Report
We have submitted applications for Avery to "big kid school." He will enroll in a Pre-K program next year in a school that will, if it is a fit, either take him to 8th grade or all the way through to 12th. It's amazing that it feels like this real school experience is starting!
So one of the schools we're applying to requires a Play Day, which we had on Saturday morning. We brought Avery to the school, and waited in line with other parents and children. There were about a total of 20 kids, and they were divided into two groups. They got nametags, and we brought them into this maze of classrooms, where playdough, blocks, legos and various other games were set up.
After a few minutes, we left to join other parents in the gym, and hear from some of the older kids about their experience at the school. At the end of it all, we waited by a door, and the kids were brought back down to us.
Avery reported, "I liked it so much! There weren't any trains, but they did have really good legos. All the kids were very nice. And there were NO TEACHERS." He still insists that it was just a room full of children playing and snacking, and there were absolutely no teachers.
