... comes from some other beginning's end
D and M had their last day of co-op preschool and ended the spring soccer season in May. The week after soccer ended, D began what he calls his ninja training at SMA. Most people would call it karate class, but most people haven't chosen "ninja" for their future careers. This can totally be blamed on Lego Ninjago, but I'm glad because my boy is loving it so far. (We bought him his first Ninjago set for his birthday!)
With how much fun he had, you would have thought Hannah B's graduation party was all for him. Food, friends & fire were all this boy needed to want to stay all night long. He did not feel the same way about his kindergarten open house. N had a great time sitting in K's chair and we were very surprised to see so many friends signed up for his half day class this fall. Between church, preschool, soccer and gymnastics had knew 7 kids. Then I found out 32 students were already enrolled and I wasn't so surprised anymore. Crossing my fingers they hire an afternoon teacher to cut that class size in half! Especially considering K's class ended up adding 5 students between enrollment & school starting & then adding 3 more before the end of the year. Can you imagine 40 kindergarteners in one room? Yikes!
Perhaps I'm just spoiled by at-home preschool. Here's a picture of D & M on their first day at S's Preschool for summer session. They will be attending one morning a week to not loose what they've gained during the school year. While they are away I "home school" K. Here's a picture of her royal win while playing Monopoly Jr. Disney Princess edition for the first time. Great for both math skills and reading. And vocab -- she learning the word allowance. Thanks, random garage sale near my house.
K's last week of school may not have been a full 5 days long but it was plenty busy. She was thrilled N and I could join her for the egg drop project off the school's roof and even more thrilled her egg didn't break. The end of year class picnic was super sweet and nice. K kicked booty at her first ever field day. One of the other moms assumed we had practiced at home. Nope. That is raw athleticism right there combined with super tall. K adored her teacher and we are so grateful Mrs. C was her first public school teacher. I am super impressed with all she does to make sure all the children's needs are being met. A super hero in our eyes. On to 1st grade! Wowzers!
