First Day of School

Last Tuesday, Ava began her preschool journey into The Musical Arts Schoolhouse. She did a trial day last spring and came home with such joy, exclaiming "I love school!" that we had to give it a try. She then went to a week long Carnival Camp there and again, LOVED it!

The school obviously has a focus on the performing arts and what 3 year old doesn't love that? She goes from 8:30-12:30, 3 days a week, rotating between an hour of theater (dress up), art, music and dance, all integrating a subtle educational curriculum. She has so much to tell me when she comes home. Her favorite is a toss up, between her tap shoes, dress up and playing the keyboard with her own set of headphones plugged in. She loves Mrs. Misty, her teacher and has made a friend. "She smiled at me" Ava told me, and now they are friends.

It truly is such a neat program and I can't wait until the recitals and fun this year has to bring!

Her first day outfit that she chose....cute!



When I went to pick her up, she was sporting these new shades she earned from the treasure chest!
