Last Day of School

Carter's last day of school was May 15th. He had a concert and pizza luncheon that day. He sang every song and even did the hand motions this time! Carter has come a long way this year in the 3's class. A big thank you to Miss Ellen, his teacher. He now loves school and actually gives me some limited feedback when I pick him up each time. At the beginning of the year, I would ask him what he did at school and about all he would tell me was that they had a snack and he played with a truck. His later descriptions explained who he played with and what they talked about - even the weather. They rotate being the weather watcher for the day. He's really looking forward to being in the 4's class next year. He'll go four days each week and move upstairs to "where the big kids are".

Here they are at the concert. The girls wore flowers around their faces and the boys had sunshine necklaces that they had made.


After the big show...getting a high five from Dad.


Grandma came to watch and we all had pizza, applesauce, carrots and rice crispy treats for desert.

Carter posed for a picture with his teacher, Miss Ellen. She always makes every kid feel special!


After lunch, Grandma and I took Carter and Leah down to the river to feed the ducks. It was a nice day for a walk and since we're going to be moving out of the village, we thought we'd take advantage of the opportunity.


Here's Carter pushing Leah to the playground....


It was a fun way to wrap up the school year. We're looking forward to summertime!!!

I'm so proud of him for getting up there and singing the songs and doing the hand motions! You know that's right up my alley! :) He sure has come a long way this year. I remember you wondering if he was too young or not, but obviously he grew and learned a lot! It's so nice that he had that opportunity.

What cute kids you have! Nice to be able to see the pictures and read the stories, too!
