Meet the Teacher Night ...

Last Thursday while I was out of town on business, Madilyn attended her first ever Meet the Teacher event at Lookout Mountain Elementary School. As she starts Kindergarten next week, we wanted her to get the opportunity to meet her teacher, Mrs. Lillie, and see her new classroom. We thought this would make kindergarten a little less scary and help this transition go a little more smoothly. Madilyn was very nervous and broke into tears before she even walked into the kindergarten building. Per Josh, the tears continued to roll until Madilyn was approached by one of her preschool friends, Meadow, who gave her a big hug. The girls then grabbed hands and walked into the building together even though they are not even in the same kindergarten classroom. Madi did meet her teacher and checked out her classroom. After her nervousness subsided, she became excited and couldn't wait to tell me all about it when I got home. Let's hope now that she has met her teacher and has been exposed to her new surrounding that she will feel more comfortable and happy on her first day of school.
