Well, it has been a good year. It is bitter-sweet, my school year is coming to an end. I only have 1 class left. (Mommy and I are skipping school next week to go on vacation.)
I have enjoyed my time with my teacher and my friends. I have learned so many things in my new school… I have learned to wash my hands when I come in from outside and before I eat…I have learned to take turns… also, I now enjoy participating in group activities- such as dance and music time. And, after much practice, I know the proper etiquette required when going down a slide.
My school is a really special place. It is almost like they made a place where some one small, like me, can fit in. In adult places people are always trying to control you- “use your indoor voice,” “sit down,” “don’t bang your toys on the wall,” “please, stop mashing food into the carpet.” One thing after the other. I mean, their expectations are not practical. But, at school- I feel like I can be myself. And I have to tell you, I am always using my indoor voice- You adults may not like it- but it is what it is!
I will miss my school this summer. I am going to miss snack time and the trucks in the Rainbow Room. I am going to miss Teacher Kelly’s smile. She is always happy and she is really good at playing. When she talks to me I feel respected and important. She makes me feel special. Mom and I both feel very lucky to have had such a great, first experience at my school. We are looking forward to the next 3 years at Crystal Springs!
On an up note- my friends and I are still going to get together every week, this summer! Yay! (I guess they all really like school too!) And, next year- there will be twice as many students in my class, so I will have even more friends! It is all too much!
Anyways… here are some pictures of my time at school.
