We were told today that starting Monday, Emma will be in the 2-year old room full time! She's been going to the room on and off for a while now whenever the student-teacher ratios needed to be balanced and we thought she would be getting ready to transition in the next couple of weeks, so we were a little surprised that she and two boys in her class will all start on Monday.
Emma spent most of the day in the 2-year old room today. They said she did really well and only got upset twice. The first time was when her regular teacher brought her sheets down for nap time and Emma didn't want her to leave. The second time was when she saw her friends in the younger class playing outside. Before we left school, we had to stop into her regular classroom, where Emma ran up to Jean to give her a big hug followed by Amy. Several of the kids were excited to see her and Sammy kept giving her hugs. This evening, she told us that she missed Miss Jean and Miss Amy her current teachers. :(
I think this transition might be a little bit more difficult than any of the previous ones. Emma has become really attached to her current teachers and definitely realizes change more than she ever has before. Previous transitions have been to new rooms with cooler, bigger, more advanced toys; while the 2-year old room has different toys, I think she'll miss her friends and teachers more than she has before. The teachers in the new room, Miss Adonna and Miss Tori (I think) are both very nice, very fun women and I'm sure that Emma will love them soon. Emma's friend, Cameron, is also in the 2-year old room. I'm sure that he will help make the transition easier for her as well.
Another plus to Emma moving up is that her tuition has been decreased by about 25%! HUGE!
