Subject: Sawyer's First Day in the Primary Environment

Emily and Chris,

 

Sawyer's first day in the Primary environment went well! Originally his visit was planned for one hour however Sawyer stayed the whole morning work cycle – 3 hours. Mrs. Wilson said she would love to have at least five more little Sawyer's in the class. He came back to the Toddler class and he just talked about all the different things that were in his new class.

 

Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of Sawyer's life. It has been a joy to see him develop.

 

And thanks again for the eggs I know what I am having for breakfast!
