Callie had her Award Ceremony (just class awards) the last day of school. She received many certificates, including a Music Award, Work Ethic Award, and Gold Medal for Accelerated Reading. Her teacher, Mrs. Mitchen, is PHENOMENAL--we loved her! She additionally made a picture of words for each student that had all the characteristics she had noted in that student throughout the year, and Callie's included, "Loves Horses", "Happy", "Loving", "Beautiful", "Reader". We were so blessed to have her this year, and appreciate her dedication to teaching and loving each student individually. I hope Jack is fortunate enough to have her in a couple of years! Also, if you will notice, Macie decided to make herself part of the Award party--she just marched right up and stood by Callie, waiting on hers!
Well, another kiddo is leaving the "baby" stage, or at least that is what it feels like! Jack finished preschool, and it's so hard to believe that he will be going to Kindergarten next year!! What in the world??!! He has done well this year, and actually did well enough on his testing to put him in an accelerated Kindergarten for next year. He had a super teacher, Mrs. Acosta, whom we will miss! He also loved Mrs. Barbara, the Welcome Desk administrator and sub-in for Jack's teacher--they have some sort of cute bond. My little man is sweet, sensitive, complicated, smart, active, stubborn all in one. I am a little saddened to see him get older and older, but so proud of him, too. Love that boy!
