School Days Cool Days



This was a big week for Maarit:  She discovered that Valentine's Day = lots of sweet treats and she started planning how many swimming suits she will need for our trip to Scotland (she has decided on 4 because we will be there for 4 days).  Today she had a student-led conference at her classroom with Mommy and Daddy. Maarit presented all the things she has learned (colors, numbers, alphabet, writing, circle time and more) to us- it was incredibly awesome to see all the cool things she does in her days at preschool. 
Her week was also a bit sad, she had to say goodbye to her good friend Rory (her first ever "best friend") who is moving back to the United States.  Her class held a big party in honor of friendship, farewell and kindness.   

These are pictures her teacher Ms. Correen was kind enough to share on their class website:

I love the sideways eyes look. Maarit uses this whenever she is thinking about something or when she is not quite sure about something. 



Dance Party in Preschool 3 B!!!!



 Maarit the super serious student:

Maarit and R, chocolate face girls!

Maarit painting her special friendship card box.  She was so thrilled to bring home her friendship cards after the party.  Of course her favorite part was all the chocolates!

School continues to go well for her. Today Ms. Sheila (her teacher) said that she is doing really well in class. She is a good listener and she is very smart!  However, Ms. Sheila would like her to work on being more outgoing and confident with her peers when she is participating in the group.  That makes me smile...  In that aspect she is definitely more like her Daddy----super shy and quiet in big social situations and at home....super silly!
