Pre-School Graduation

The big event has arrived.  What we have been waiting 5 years for!!!  Bella graduated from pre-school with flying colors.  That there is a big accomplishment.  Let's see, just what have we been getting for our money?  5 hours of babysitting/week, something for Bella to do twice a week (without siblings!), made new friends, colored a lot, sang songs, and she made some fun memories that she may or may not remember.  Needless to say, she loved every minute of it and looked forward to the days she had school.  

She went to Taylorsville High School where the students at the high school were actually their teachers.  At any given time there were at least 5 HS students, an adult advisor, and up to 14 4-5 year olds.  The HS students were generally very cute with all the kids.  Bella really enjoyed it and was very sad when she knew she would not be going back.  I am so grateful for opportunities like this for my children.  It makes them feel so grown up (good or bad).

Here is Bella walking in.

Bella (on the end) sang so good.  She did all the actions and participated suprisingly well.

The adult supervision, Mrs. Rockwell (left) & Miss Annie (right).  They are the ones who trained and supervised the HS students.  They said something special about each one of the kids as they received their diploma.  The following is what was said about Bella: "Bella is an amazing child.  She is extremely intelligent and always the first to know the answer to even the hardest questions.  She was a delight at singing time always learning the words to the songs well and singing them proudly.  Bella was always cooperative, focused and willing to help.  She makes friends easily and is a good friend in return; we loved having Bella in our class this year.  She will do fabulous in kindergarten."  Being a parent, that was a special tribute to our daughter.  We are so proud of her.  She definitly has some special talents that will help her throughout her life.
