First day of school for me & Haley 2012-2013

Today is Haley's first day of school for school year 2012-2013.  It is also my first day to be a preschool teacher.  Owen took a day off so Haley can get full attention from daddy while I'm with other children/parent.  It is sad to find out the enrollment is so low, there is only 7 students.  The school has many children attending the after-school program and the director Sandy explained their school always has late enrollment for the preschool session.  Hopefully and prayerfully we will get more students soon or later.  Parent participated in activities like helping their children made their sign-in books, journal, and measured their weight and height.  Haley is 38lbs and 41 inches.  The other teacher Ms. Chen and I led the children to sing songs, played games, and make a little craft project while Sandy hosted a parent conference to go over curriculum with them.  I was exhausted after the 3-hour school day.  My working schedule is M/W/F from 9-12.  Haley will have the same schedule as mine, and Chester will join us when he turns two in October.  Thanks to grandpa's help.  He will come to our home early in the morning to take care of Chester while Haley and I are in school.  
Haley helped mommy in final set up before the parents and students come in.
 Haley missed her best friend Kaylie from last year in school, but Kaylie is going to kindergarten.  It's good that she found a new friend Olivia to bond with on the first day of school.
 Preparing her journal.
I brought a little game to play with the children.  They all love to roll the set of BIG dices.
