Graduation

This year I planned a small graduation ceremony to honor all my students but mainly Kylie, Toddy and Chase who were graduating from Learning Adventure Preschool! We had the get-together at Heritage Hills community pool. Joanne helped me decorate the pavilion so nice. We grilled hot dogs and everyone brought yummy food to share. The children enjoyed swimming...until the storm came. And it rained and rained and thundered! We thought it would pass and then it just got worse....but the show must go on!!

We did our little program and had a blast.

Here is the whole group.

I didn't get a shot of all 3 graduates together....but these 2 pictures are show them all!

I had many moments on Friday where I was so sad that this year has come to an end! The parents gave me a wonderful scrapbook of the year. This is something I will cherish forever. I look forward to the years ahead but this group will always hold a special place in my heart. These children gave me so much confidence. They were always so excited to come to school and I loved seeing their smiling faces each morning. How lucky I have been!!

Field Day!

Chase giving the chicken limbo a try! How low can you go?

Face painting!!

Everyone gave it a try....the green noses was pretty! Of course the children loved painting our faces as well....I had green hands even!

Savanna's clients-Addy and Camryn

There were even water balloons! This was the children's favorite!!

Kylie was going after her mom while Savanna and I were having a battle at the end of the driveway!

The boys won this round of tug-of-war.

This Kool-aid stand was a hit with Isabel and Toddy. The enjoyed taking orders and passing out snacks!

Not sure why Trent is making that face! He is cute even when he frowns!

Fox's Pizza!

The children LOVED going to Fox's Pizza! They went back into the kitchen, walked into the refridgerator, played with some pizza dough and then got to make their very own personal pan pizza! They could choose from all the toppings....but for some reason they all wanted pepperoni! ha:) It was very hard to get good pictures of them creating their pizzas but here is what I have! It was so much fun and we hope to make this a tradition with Learning Adventures!!

The owners were so impressed with their pizza-making skills that some were offered jobs right on the spot!
