Preschool Year 2

Our Matt man has started school again.  He pretty much gets to go to the BEST preschool ever!  It is affiliated with Pacific University's early childhood education program and is right next to Nate's optometry building. Matt obviously loves going there, making the separation of Monday-Friday 9-3 a little more tolerable. It has a large play room for dramatic play, an art and science room- since they teach reading and math through art and science- class rooms where a lot of core learning is done, a giant playground with multiple gardens that the children plant and harvest and a kitchen where the kids can learn to prepare and cook the food from their garden.  In all honesty, I would love to play there all day!  It is a really good fit for Matt since he is excited to learn but needs constant stimulation and structure, something I'm not always able to give him.  Since this is his second year going there he is more familiar with how the routine goes and is better at solving problems with kids at school.  Nate and I are so happy with the progress he's made since going there and love hearing all about the fun things they get to do everyday.  Here's a few pictures of Matt at school:
