My Angel's Trial Preschool

It was about a month ago when Angel went to 5-days of free trial Preschool at the school where her siblings are enrolled in. We wanted to see how she would like going to school. She’s already 4 and a half years old this June and we wanted to know if she’s ready to go to school with her brothers and sisters.

Ate Kristel, Ate Janel and Cousin Hannah are excited to see Angel go to Trial Preschool

For the first 3 days, as soon as I leave her inside the classroom with about 15-20 other kids, she starts to cry. Then, some others follow her and cry, too. And she cries so loud and non-stop.

On the first day, I had to take her outside then accompany her inside the room when she stopped crying.  After the class, the teacher advised that we cannot stay inside the room anymore on the following days.

So the next day, I brought Angel inside the room and told her that I would just be outside. But as soon as I left the room, she started crying. I thought she was not going to stop. But after 30 minutes (the trial class was just an hour), she stopped crying. The teacher aid told us that Angel told her that she already had a headache so she told her to stop crying. Angel did and just enjoyed her favorite part of the trial class – coloring.

On the third day, she still cried but not as much, Then on the fourth and fifth day, she did not cry any more. I’m really so happy about that.

The teacher was actually impressed with her fine motor skills as she already can color well. She also knows how to write her name even though she has not gone to formal school. I and her sisters just teach her at home. In another post, I will share some of the things that helped Angel learn the ABCs, the numbers 1-10 and others at home.

So, here are some photos to remind about Angel’s trial preschool sessions.
