Rakel's First Day of School!

Well, the day finally came. My baby is starting Preschool! We are so excited! The only thing is that it starts at 8am, so that means no more sleeping in...Oh, well. I got to stay with her for the first day. Rakel really had a good time. She's going to do great!
Decidi que debo escribir en espanol tambien, asi que aqui esta. (perdon la falta de tildes...No se como hacerlo todavia).
Bueno, por fin llego el dia! Mi bebe empezo el preescolar!. Estamos muy emocionados! La unica cosa es que empieza a las 8am...Asi que ya no podemos dormir hasta tarde...Esta bien...Me dejaron quedarme para el primer dia. Rakel se divertio mucho. Creemos que le va a ir super bien!
So here is Rakel outside her classroom door! (Which, by the way, was locked. We apparently got there before the teachers...We were only a few minutes early...) And it was COLD. I, of course, hadn't brought a coat thinking it would warm up... Aqui esta Rakel al frente de su clase. (Lo cual estaba con seguro. Parece que les ganamos a las maestras...Solo llegamos unos minutos temprano...) Y hacia FRIO! Por supuesto, pensando que se calentaria mas, no traje sacos...
Rakel loved the just-her-size sink. She washed her hands about 10 times... Oh, yes, and Raulito really liked school too... The let him stay for today. A Rakel le encanto el lavamanos pequeno. Se lavo las manos como 10 veces. Y a Raulito le gusto tambien. Le dejaron quedarse hoy, asi que penso que ya era parte del grupo y todo...
The Reading area
El area de leer
Playing outside!
Jugando afuera
I couldn't get both of them to look at me at the same time...
No lo podia hacer mirarme los dos a la vez...
Isn't she nice to take her brother for a ride?
Que buena llevando a su hermanito!
They had to line up after play time. Notice Rakel is the only girl...Pobrecita! Fortunately, this is only half of the class, there are more girls. Rakel didn't seem to have a problem with being the only girl today.
Tuvieron que hacer fila despues de jugar afuera. Hazte cuenta que Rakel es la unica nina... Pobrecita!!! Afortunadamente, es solo la mitad de la clase, si hay mas ninas. Parece que a Rakel no le importo ser la unica nina hoy.
She was a bit hesitant to paint her hand...I think she was thinking "is it really ok? Mommy doesn't let me do this at home!" She ended up painting a lot!
Espero un poquito al principio cuando le dijeron que pintara la mano... Parecia pensar "Estara bien? Mi mami no me deja hacer esto en casa!" Pinto mucho!
Singing songs with her teacher
Cantando con la maestra
The Kitchen Area...One of her very favorites!
El area de la cocina. Uno de sus lugares favoritas para jugar!
Yes, and Raulito is helping...
A Raulito le toco jugar tambien...
Computer...She asked if she could play PBS Kids...
So anyway, This turned out to be a really long post, but I wanted to share Rakel's new adventure with everyone!
Salio largo este post, pero queria compartir la nueva aventura de Rakel con todos!

Yay Kelinda! I'm glad you have a blog too. It's fun for me to be able to keep up with everyone so easily! That looks like a pretty fun preschool. Connor would love to go there, I'm sure. She keeps asking when she can go to school...too bad it's so darn expensive! She's also been asking lately about her "amiga who taught her Spanish when she was a little girl" now I can show her!
