So Long, Farewell, Goodbye Preschool!

Jonah and Micah completed their 3rd year of preschool in May. Their birthday is in September, so they missed the cut-off for last year's kindergarten. When they were 3 and 4, they went to the Child Development Center Preschool, and this past year they attended the HeadStart preschool. Both schools have excellent preschool programs, and I'm so grateful that they've had the opportunity to attend both!









I spent a lot of time volunteering in their classroom throughout this past year, and I really enjoyed it! On most Thursdays I would eat with them and play with them and watch them interact with others. Occasionally I had to take Kanyon with me, which was difficult for him in the beginning but then he loved going to play at the school with his big brothers too!











Their teachers were Miss Savannah and Miss Darla. There was 18 kids in their class, and 12 of them were boys! It was such an energetic, active, rambunctious class! Jonah and Micah had a great time and learned a lot, and I really feel like they are prepared for Kindergarten now! Jonah's favorite part of HeadStart was playing outside and playing with toy cars inside. Micah's favorite part of HeadStart was playing with toy cars inside and playing on the playground outside. (Do you hear a common theme there? How funny!)
















On the last day of school, the school had a BBQ for all the families to come and eat with their preschool students, and the teachers gave all the kids little diplomas and stuffed animals. It's bitter-sweet to see them grow! It's sad to say goodbye to the fun little toddler years, and wonderful to see them learn and do so well as they grow! When I look at them now, I can't believe they've come so far from being the premature babies that they were!















Jonah and Micah went to Kindergarten Testing in May, and they both did pretty well. They've learned so much and have socially matured a lot in the last 3 years! They are definitely ready for Kindergarten, and they are so excited to go to "Ammon's school" in the fall!

Man, they are going to be in Kindergarten? That's crazy!! They are such cute boys. Sometimes they remind me of the twins on Everybody Loves Raymond... because they kind of look like them. :)

Looks like a very fun preschool class. We also cannot wait for Kindergarten this coming year. I cannot believe how quick they grow!
