"Look Mom! There's a yellow stop light AND a yellow school bus."

Huh, go figure!

"What does that mean?"

You say that when something is interesting.

"What does interesting mean?"

.........

"That everything is yellow?"

Preschool 2013-2014

Wednesday, April 16th, was the last day of our little Pre-preschool group.

Our "class" shrunk when Kenley and Claire moved in March, but they were all great little students!

I just found Keri's picture from the first day of school back in September. I didn't realize how much all the kids - especially the boys - have grown!

James, being weird.

Emma, being weird.

Malia

Nate

Violet

Joshua

Of course, the littlest ones grew the most:

Bethany

Elise

And there's Micah - born April 21st.  :-)

For our last day of school, we sang extra songs, reviewed lots of verses, learned the last letter Z, practiced all of our sign language letters, reviewed numbers 1-19, did a zebra craft, and made bookmarks.

Nate was creative with his "stripes".

Right before lunch, we had a scavenger hunt around the house with clues that led to the grand prize. Everyone got "diplomas" and a bag of school goodies.

We didn't get a cute group picture because it was pouring down rain.  :-/ 
These will have to do.

It has been another fun year full of great memories!

A walk down memory-lane, in very random order:

"Days of the Week"
(I just like this video for Kenley!)

"Zacchaeus"
(Nate singing at preschool {when he would sing} always cracked me up. He was always one line behind everyone else, but very enthusiastic. Zacchaeus was Nate's most requested song. Wiggle Worm was another favorite - demonstrated by Violet!)

"What's the Weather?"

We have one more year until James is in Kindergarden and two years until Nate joins him. Originally, I was looking forward to having one more year at home with all the kiddos. But, John and I have loved watching the boys' excitement for preschool each week. They have learned and grown so much in our weekly meetings. So... we're in talks about ideas for next year. We shall see!
