Reece Graduates from Kindergarten!!!

 

Reece graduated from Kindergarten today. The school planned a wonderfully sentimental ceremony (yes, I cried some tears!) to honor the graduates at this milestone in their young lives. Reece received his diploma with style and enjoyed a great day with his family, friends and teachers. 

 

 

We are so happy to see the ways Reece has grown and developed during these preschool years. It was so hard to let him go in the beginning and make the transition to having our boy go to school. But there is no doubt that this little guy has made many people smile and touched many lives through his friendship, and his loving, caring, responsible, funny self. We couldn't feel prouder for who he is first off - and then also for the many ways he has grown, learned, and developed.

School Stuff

We love our boys' school for lots of reasons...but one of them is that at this ripe old age of preschoolers they let them be kids and have fun and learn through play and discovery (unlike a traditional Mexican school). They are given several opportunities throughout the year to make a presentation in front of their class about fun/interesting topics - sometimes assigned and sometimes chosen by the child...sometimes in english, sometimes in spanish. At such an early age the fear of public speaking is being conquered and I think that is pretty cool.

This time around Reece chose to talk about bugs and for days beforehand was finding dead critters to save and show to his classmates with a magnifying glass. He made this poster and talked about why he loves collecting bugs!

 

And Chase chose Sea Animals. His teacher invited the parents to come and watch their child present and that was a really fun thing. He got out a pointer stick (in this case a sword) and did a really great job. I was able to snap a few more pics of him since it was live and in action! He was so proud of his ocean that he painted and all the sea animals he colored and glued in just the right spot!

 

 

 

We are proud of these guys - they enjoy school and have fun learning about lots of stuff!
