Caleb's Preschool Graduation

Caleb finished up preschool yesterday and is now academically ready for Kindergarten!  I have really enjoyed teaching Caleb these last two years as well as his classmates.  It gave me a teaching fix, and I loved being apart of every aspect of Caleb's learning.  It's going to be hard to relinquish control to his Kindergarten teacher!  I had a really good group of kids who were well-behaved and did well with putting up with Carter's antics at times.

Presenting Caleb with his graduation certificate and his award.  He got the "Good Listener" award for his ability to follow directions to a T.  Some parents say it would be difficult to teach their own child for behavior reasons, but Caleb is just the opposite.  He is so well-behaved!  He is also very competitive and wanted to do just as well as anyone else in all aspects of learning, especially reading.  He's turned into such a great reader!

Opening the present my students gave me.  Each student colored a picture and wrote something they learned from me this year. Then one of the parents assembled them all into a laminated book.  I gave each of my students a photo book of all the activities we did throughout the year.

Even though I only taught a few days a week, I'm excited to be done teaching and be able to focus on other areas of my life.  It's been a treat to work with all the students, and Caleb specifically, plus a really neat learning experience for me.
