Today marked the end of Emma's first year of preschool. With an October birthday, she was one of the older (and wiser!) kids in her preschool class. This year, she made new friends, made lots of art and crafts, sang songs, learned important school lessons (sharing, cleaning up, standing in line, raising your hand, listening to the teacher, etc.), and had lots of opportunities to learn about colors, families, seasons, weather, animals, and God. In nice weather, her class of 14 2 and 3 year olds dutifully held onto a knotted rope (one child per knot and a teacher at each end and in the middle) and walked out to the small, fenced-in little kids playground. All the kids were anxiously awaiting the day they could play on the BIG playground, where the older classes play. Well, today was the day! We had the end-of-the-year party outside at the big playground with all of her school friends and their families. The weather was beautiful and the kids had a wonderful time playing with each other and playing on the BIG playground!
And, they dutifully said their last prayer of the school year together before they ate (even if they were scattered about the playground).
