Last Day of Preschool

Avery had her last day of preschool at Memorial Baptist yesterday. She had the best teacher this year Mrs. Siegel. We LOVED everything about her and we thought she was just the neatest teacher. You could tell that she enjoyed what she did but above all she genuinely cared for the kids!! We wish we could bottle up her enthusiasm for children and take it with her throughout Avery's school years!

Avery also had a really sweet teacher's assistant - Mrs. Conboy. She joined the class halfway through the year and jumped right in with both feet. We will miss them both. 

The end of the year party was fun. The kids ate pizza on the floor and used a big tablecloth as their table. It was something different and fun for them. Of course, Avery ate 2 bites of her pizza and cupcake and was done - she wanted me to save the rest for later...ha!

The rest of the party was play time and then they sat around and sang a few songs for us. 

I took a few pictures of their caring tree - the kids would get a leaf, bird, flower etc. added to the tree when they did something nice or helpful for someone else. I took a few pictures of the things Avery had on the tree.

We've decided to keep Avery home next year from preschool so today was a little bittersweet. There were a few factors that went into that decision and I believe we are doing the right thing for our family and I am looking forward to more time with her next year!!! So long preschool!
