A Proclamation?

This is Emerson's EAGLE class. (Don't fourth grade students look much bigger than they use to?) These boys and girls helped develop a WIKI page about the history of the town of Lexington. On Monday, they received a Proclamation from the Town of Lexington for their work. (Pretty cool...because I'm pretty sure I have never been mentioned in a Proclamation.) In case you were not aware - it is the 150th anniversary for the Town of Lexington and his class developed this web page to preserve the town's history. Yeah for these students and Happy Anniversary Lexington. (You may go to the student developed website here - http://lexingtonsccivilwarhistory.wikispaces.com/)

Best Friends

"Friends are friends forever..." even if you go to different schools and move to different places. You never forget your best friend from preschool.

Graduates

Get out your tissues because it is getting close. We are almost at the most special day of our year - GRADUATION! It isn't sad, but tears come when I think about what the future holds for each one of these wonderful children. It is the beginning of what will be wonderful years of education and careers that will change the world. These little pictures will seem like yesterday as kindergarten turns into middle school and beyond. "Drink up" your child's energy and innocence. Let it inspire you and do things as a family that are spontaneous - these are the things that memories are made of. "Childhood" is one of those times of life that "kind of" disappears without you really recognizing it and hopefully you won't miss it before it is gone. Sentimental? Yes I am...It was Marshall's 6th grade band concert tonight and it seems like last week when he was starting school. Honestly, did you think parenthood would be so hard? I can deal with fighting and bad grades and being sick - but growing up is not so easy. I guess it is the "letting go" that is the hardest part. For all of you preschool parents this is just the beginning.
So if your future looks like this picture above or this picture below - it is what God will make of it. He knows what spiritual gift your little one possesses. Many praises to each one of your parents who gave your child the gift of His love! Happy 2011 Graduation Countdown! (7 days and a "wake-up" until the big day.)

Hello Grandparents

Just a few more pictures of grandparents that stopped in to say Hello. We are always happy to meet those "oh so special" people in our friend's lives. I know it sounds silly - but grandparents are THE BEST!!!! All of mine are sweet angels in heaven and I miss them so much - but meeting your grandparents at school just makes me smile! Thank you so much Grandparents for taking the time to stop in.

Summer Fever

I'm not sure if you all can feel it, but we have more than "Spring Fever;" we have "Summer Fever." The sunshine is getting so much more inviting and are minds are wandering farther away from the classroom - and really? Can you blame them? Graduation is almost single digits away and we are ready to just play and have fun. The Countdown is On!!!

Wiped Out

Preschool is hard work!!! At the end of the day, it was impossible to even sit up. It was so quiet in our room as all of us took a nap. (NOT!) Only two more Monday's of school remaining in this year. We are feeling a little sad, but the children are so excited about summer vacation.

My First Lost Tooth

Today was my very first lost tooth at school. In all my years at the preschool, this is my very first tooth lost at school. It was big news!!!! This was a total surprise - even to my little friend and would you believe that it happened when she was eating a Popsicle? It was so much fun to celebrate together. See how fast we are growing up!!!!!
