Augie's first day of school was Thursday 12 February 2015 at Chrysalis Montessori School. We chose Chrysalis because of their values and their approach to education - a hybrid model of Australian curriculum and montessori methods. We liked the idea of the freedom of movement in the classroom as Augie is so very active and the ability for him to go at his own pace. In hindsight we feel this is one of the best decisions we have made on his behalf as he is absolutely thriving there. But that's getting a bit ahead of this post...here's a glimpse of the first day.
This is one of Augie's first days, period. I put this in here because somehow it seems completely impossible to me that this teeny little person in this picture is NOW IN SCHOOL!
The obligatory first-day-of-school photo. Augie was absolutely certain that he wanted to be a paleontologist.
After making so many silly faces himself, he was keen to be the photographer and demanded some silly faces from the rest of us.
We were fortunate enough to have Grandma Carma with us on Augie's first day of school. A fantastic thing since geography means she misses out on nearly all of the big milestones in the boys' lives.
Grandma Carma and Augie.
We took a lot of photos.
This is a photo of Augie showing his sign to Imi as she drove by on her way to school. He was so very excited about going to school like Imi does.
This is actually taken on his second day of school. He climbed one of the trees in the schoolyard during the playtime before school. School starts at 8.45am but we always try to get there early (at least by 8/8.15 am) to allow him plenty of time for exercise before school.
On Augie's second day of school there was an all-school meeting. In this video Augie and the other new kids from Triangles (the name of his class...all classes at Chrysalis are named after butterflies) are being introduced to the rest of the school. Robyn, his teacher, is introducing him and Paul, the principal of the school is the man on stage with the kids and Robyn).
