Today was Ellen and Anais's first day back to school. This year they will both be in Miss Marguerite's class. It's a montessori program for 3-5 year olds. Although Ellen is old enough to start Kindergarten, because of her mid-August birthday we decided it was best to give her another year in preschool and be one of the older kids once she started in elementary school. With the montessori program, she will be able to learn as much as she'd like - reading, early math, etc. - so we don't feel that we are "holding her back". It will be a chance for her to build some confidence and be a leader as the older kids are encouraged to help the younger ones in the classroom. Anais enjoyed her first day and seems to love being in class with her sister. I'm hoping it'll be a good experience for the 2 of them. They are close but we think Anais is independent enough to not be overshadowed by Ellen in class. Should be a fun year!!!
