Schools out for Summer

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
