Jordan's First Day at VPK

Jordan went to her first day of VPK this past Monday.  She was so excited to go to Wilhelm's five days a week this year.  She seems to love her teacher, Mrs. Gibbs, and enjoys that there are more kids in her class; although Trevor isn't in her class this year :o(

Here are some pics of her walking into class the first day taken by Josh since I had to report to my own school.

We have put morning and evening routines in place.  We are also using a job chart for her to earn stars during the week.  Depending on how many stars she earns we do something special.  She can earn trips to the beach, park, or mall.  I'm thinking of adding the sprinkler park to that list although we may not get more than a month or two out of that one until spring. 

She is highly motivated by this system.  I've even noticed her being more helpful in areas where she doesn't earn stars.  Josh and I have been pouring on the positive reinforcement a lot more since school started. 

I'm looking forward to Parent night next Monday to find out what themes they will be studying and how Josh and I can support her teacher this year.  Kindergarten is one year away!!!!
