Once again, we are at the end of another preschool year. It was really a great year for Mellany as she learned a TON--sounds of the letters of the alphabet, how to write each letter and number 1-10, she is coloring in the lines and is very particular about the colors she chooses to use, she is "tracking words" while reading, she can write her name better than she could at the beginning of the year, her vocabulary has expanded, she is counting to almost 40 and identifying numbers up to 20 and to top it off she learned even more about Jesus. She is super excited to go to preschool camp over the summer for a week and already can't wait to go back to "big kid" preschool next year where she will be in school three days a week from 9-2. I think it will be a great transition for everyone as she will get familiar with longer days as prep for Kindergarten and mama will get more used to her being gone for longer periods during the day (have I mentioned I am so not ready for this?!).
Jump Start's Graduation Program was this past week. John was working out of town and unable to make it so the kids and I tackled it alone and I think we did ok for the most part. Each class got to sing a few songs, the teachers put together a skit and slide show (Mellany LOVED seeing her picture up on the big screens), the kids got a certificate and there were cupcakes and snacks after it was all over (which we enjoyed at home-I wasn't feeling brave enough to tackle messy cupcakes in the church). Mellany really enjoyed singing on the stage and showing what she had learned. Johnny did pretty well sitting still and being quiet for the program, though he didn't really have a desire to sit next to me. He either wanted to sit in front of me or behind me....he's already "too cool"! :( All in all, it was a great night!!
