ThirtySomething

I know, I’ve wanted to write a post for over a week now and I am just now sitting down to do so.  Although my knitting is really calling for me, so it may be short and sweet.  :)  I know, I know you’re so disappointed.

Last Thursday Jack and Aeryn’s school had their awards program for preK (and kindergarten graduation).  The kids performed the Jungle Jamba

and Never Get Tired of Doing Good.

They had hand motions and all that fun, cute, adorable stuff.  I think I was in tears when the first note came out of their cute little mouths.  LOL!  Jack, my stubborn and shy guy actually sang and did the moves…he smiled and gladly performed as he was asked to do.

Well, you’ll have to trust me that he was smiling and having fun up there.  And Aeryn once again sang her pretty little heart out.  She was so precious!!

If you remember the Christmas program Jack did not sing or move through their program then.  I remember even before the Christmas program we had to practically drag him to his classroom while he was in tears.  His teacher was very comforting to us and to him….but it was difficult to say the least.  Then when they all came out to sing he was like a statue and did NOT smile.  I was so disappointed. 

Anyway, back to the awards program.  I only got a video of Jack getting his awardiand it was actually AFTER he got his award…we had some technical difficulties that night.

Jack was recognized for his Quiet Spirit and got an Emerging Reader award…one of a very few to get that in PreK.  SO PROUD!!!  He also had no tallies this year (actually his certificate said low tallies, but I am fairly sure he didn’t have any).

We are just so very proud of him!!!  He has done so well and has grown SOOOO much this year.  I am just in awe of how much he’s learned and accomplished.

Aeryn was recognized for her Quiet Spirit (she got all the awwww’s from the croud) and really shined this year in school!  We are so very proud of all her accomplishments too.  At the beginning of the school year she could have cared less about numbers and letters (she could count, say her ABCs, knew colors and shapes) but she has really come far with knowing her letters by sight and even knows some of the sounds for them as well.  And she has really shined with numbers (funny how Jack excelled with words and Aeryn with numbers).

 

We are sooo very proud of both Jack and Aeryn.  As a reward for doing so well in school Grandma and Granddad are treating them to a night at Chuck E. Cheeses and we bought them scooters…which they loooove.

Last day of school was today.  I will have to blog about it another day.  Until….
