First year of Preschool is in the books

We've had such a great year at preschool this year.  I wasn't sure what to expect and signed them up for this preschool based on no personal recommendations.  But I went and met them and was happy with what I saw and heard.  And I think I made a good decision.  I've been very happy at how the year has gone.  They've learned a lot but most importantly for me this year, they've had fun, met new friends, and grown out of their shell a lot.

A couple weeks ago they put on their end of the year performance.  It was so cute.  They sang all these songs for about 15 minutes straight with hand actions and everything.  Miss Tammy, their teacher, has been so good and cute with them.

Every week they've been bringing home a cute craft about the letter they're working on that week, with a mini letter book and a worksheet.  On top of that, this week they brought home their Polar Bear books that also has coloring they did for each letter of the alphabet.  And then they brought home their portfolio books that has pictures from the year in there, lots of drawings and questions that they answered.  My favorite was what are you thankful for.  Aria's says, my sister Siena.  Siena's said Food.  Haha...

It's been a great year.  The girls go back next year for pre-K and Jaron will start and do the 3 year old class next year.  I can't believe all my kids will be in school. I kind of wish they were in school at the same time but I think it will be good to get some individual time too.  Jaron has had that this year which has been nice but Siena and Aria haven't.  And although they won't get individual time they will get some specific time with Mom that we haven't had for a while.  Whenever they want to do something that is more suited for them and not a 2 year it's been hard to get it done...so that will be a plus next year.

And now we're on to summer.  I need to put together chore, learning and fun to do lists!
