School's out for summer!

In the blink of an eye,
she went from this

(first day of school)

to this

That's right...school's out for summer!

The 3's class was such a great experience for Alexis this year. 

Miss Sue was the perfect preschool teacher: warm, creative, fun and totally in control

Pretty impressive considering some days there were 15 little knuckleheads to oversee

Each day, the students were assigned a job

Each day they acted as "weather watchers" and "calendar kids"

They learned to write their names and count to 20 and beyond

They learned about the four seasons, the days of the week and months of the year

They memorized catchy little songs to help them remember everything

They had class parties and field trips

They baked pretend birthday cakes in the sandbox, played tag on the playground, 

had a bike-a-thon, movement class, music class, a weekly religious lesson, 

and they even had the chance to stay for extended day.

Lexi's very favorite was always French class. 

Miss Sue presented each child with a personalized scrapbook at the end of the year - 

complete with a self-portrait, a hand print, their most infamous 

quote from the year, a list of their best friends, their favorite job and yummiest lunch. 

We will sure miss these teachers and all the wonderful kiddos who made up the 3's!
