Pre-school Graduation

This cute guy graduated from pre-school today.  He has sure grown up over the past year.  He went to two different pre-schools this year and we loved both of them. 

Mrs. Fox's pre-school is just down the street from us.  We heard great things about her when we moved in and we were not disappointed.  She asked all of the kids what their favorite animals were.  You can see Wyatt in the back smiling.  He said his was a gorilla and then he got to make a gorilla noise.  

The graduation was very casual and laid back which I really liked.  I wish Wyatt would have been on the front row because it was hard to see him.  He knew all of the answers and sang all of the songs.  I loved seeing him smile up there.  

He was very serious when they were going through the Amazing Alphabet and all of the letter sounds.

Wyatt had a tough time starting pre-school when we moved, there were a lot of tears and Jackie was so patient with him.  It didn't take long for him to get over his fears and feel comfortable there.  I'm very proud of Wyatt because he tried so hard and went even when he didn't want to.  After a few weeks he couldn't wait to go and he has loved it ever since. 

Wyatt was excited to give Mrs. Fox her present.  Wyatt has learned a lot this year.  Mrs. Fox focuses on hands-on learning and I love that.  Although I don't think kids necessarily need pre-school I think it was really good for Wyatt and will help him be successful in school.  His separation anxiety may come back next year, but at least he will know he can conquer it.  My favorite thing about Jackie is she loves the kids she teaches.  She has told me many times how much she loves Wyatt.  I have enjoyed getting to know her and I'm glad that Hallee will get to be in her class in the fall.

We were glad that grandma Ham came to the graduation. She is always great about being there for all of the special events.

Wyatt was really excited for his bag from Mrs. Fox.  It had some of his work in it and some things he can work on this summer.  

We are sure proud of Wyatt!  He has worked hard this year and learned a lot.  He is ready for Kindergarten!
