Ms. Kathryn Says...



Ms. Kathryn was Clara's main teacher this year and was so loved by our sweet girl.  Our end of the year gift  for Ms. Kathryn was a book we wrote.  Ms. Kathryn is full of wise words for these sweet 3 year olds, and Clara repeated all of these funny sayings at home.  I made a book of the funny expressions, and Clara colored pictures for each page.  Here are a few excerpts...

"Mind your own beeswax"

"Don't be a nature girl, especially on stage at the Christmas show."
Good advice for little girls who like to lift their shirts while performing on stage. 

"Don't smoke your pipe; big girls don't suck their thumbs."

"Don't stay up for the late, late show, especially if you have
a party the next morning."


"Don't show your undies at school."


"If you don't have anything kind to say,
don't say anything."

This was such a fun project to work on, and watching Clara come up with the ideas for the pictures was priceless.  We hope you enjoy, Ms. Kathryn!

Preschool



Clara recently finished her year of preschool.  We were so blessed to have Ms. Kathryn and Ms. Crystal as her teachers; they were a perfect team together and really loved Clara well this year.

Her "graduation" day was short and sweet.  They sang a few songs and showed off some of the skills they had learned over the year - Pledge of Allegiance, Days of the Week, etc.  Each child then received a certificate for completing the year.

Proud Clara

After the ceremony was over, we headed to our car to go home for naps.  On the way out, Clara asked where we were going.  She said she had her certificate and was now ready to go to the 4 year old class  - right now!  Sweet girl didn't understand summer break, but she sure is ready for next year!
