Last Day of School!

It's the last day of school! We are so ready to welcome summer this year. 

 Here's a picture of Sammy from the first day of school. He looks so little! 

The last day of school. :) The sun was super bright this morning!

    This year Sammy attended preschool two days a week at the Newton Christian Preschool Program. He absolutely LOVED everything about preschool. At the beginning of the year our goals for Sammy were to learn how to go to school. We wanted him to learn how to sit at the carpet, stand in line, and play cooperatively with his peers. We wanted Sammy to keep his immense joy, smile, and love of learning. ALL of the above was accomplished this year and it makes us so proud! We are so thankful for his two teachers for pouring into him all year. They are such blessings in his life! He'll attend the four year old preschool program at Newton Christian Preschool next year, and is super excited to go to preschool 3 days a week. 

    Today I finished my ninth (how?!) year of teaching. It was my second year of teaching first grade, and it was a good one. I come back next week (if this baby doesn't come sooner) for 1.5 days of teacher work before starting the summer. I'd say that my room is pretty ready for my long-term substitute to walk into in August which is a great feeling. Bring on the summer fun and baby snuggles!
