Man, oh man what a difference a year can make!
I purposely dressed him in the same outfit so we could really SEE how much he's physically
changed and grown in one school year.
This year in the PK-3's he's learned:
-- to write his name
-- many, many Bible stories
-- how to share
-- how to stand in line
-- how to be a friend
-- improved cutting skills
-- how to follow a maze
-- how to sit on his square at carpet time
-- songs of all sorts in music class
-- counting by 10's
-- how to be the snack helper
-- coloring in the lines (sorta)
-- what a "center" is
-- how to "be the dad" at home center
-- responsibility for his backpack & folder
-- sight words
-- numbers 50-100: count and recognize
And most importantly...
-- that school is a place to love, a place we look forward to going to, a place full of friendly faces, high fives, and fist bumps, and teachers who love you on your very best and very worst of days, a place to belong and feel accepted, and a place we look forward to returning to in the fall! It was not just a good year, but a great year and in just 14 short years I'll be writing about him graduating from high school...oh my stars!
But for now...bring on
SUMMERTIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
