Jack's PreK-3 class had their end of year celebration last Thursday, June 13th. It is called the Stepping Up ceremony. Parents came to the classroom and watch the kids go through their morning routine. Then they performed a few special songs. It was adorable. Jack was so proud to show all that he learned. From the time that we arrived at class, Jack wanted to give Ms. Emily, his teacher, a hug. Finally, as we were about to leave we had our chance. He was nervous, but then ran to her for a great big hug. He liked her so much! We are so proud of Jack. He really blossomed at pre-school. Looking forward to what next year brings! All sorts of great things from the day: Morning prayer Calendar - counting days of the week Weather - it was raining Excited about his gift and certificate Finally, the big hug Jack loves Ms. Emily!
