Last day of preschool

Yesterday was a big day for Kyle and Emily - it was their last day of preschool. They have had a WONDERFUL year of preschool. They have learned so much and had so much fun doing so. I know it's only their second year of school, but they had a fabulous teacher - one of the best teachers I have seen in a long time. She genuinely loves each and every student and takes their success very seriously. If only they could have her as a teacher every year.

So for their last day, the parents were invited for a nice program. They first started with their tennis exposition. The kids got to show off all the tennis skills they learned over the year. Their skills and coordination has come a long way!

After the tennis exposition, we went inside for another program. The kids performed several really cute songs on stage that were more than just singing a song. Having such a great teacher, the songs also worked on different skills such as motor control (one finger, on thumb, etc. song); alphabet (zoo phonics song); and whistling (Mr. Golden Sun song).

Finally, the kids were each presented with an award, unique to each individual. Emily was the shining star and Kyle was the reading star. The videos below give all the details about the award as their teacher presented them.
