Alex's Last Day

Alex's last day of Mother's Morning Out was May 12th.  He's been looking forward to going to Mrs. King's class (Robbie's school) for a while, so I don't think he was too disappointed to be done with MMO.

Alex's teachers at the end of the year weren't the same as the teachers he started with.  I'm sure his first teachers were wonderful, but I really liked the 2 he ended the year with.  And maybe it was just a coincidence, but the second half of the year Alex really came out of his shell.  He was talking more and would even sing songs from school.  And he just loved Ms. Melanie and Ms. Kristel!

Usually when I picked up Alex one of the helpers would go back to the classroom and walk him out.  On the last day we were allowed to go back to the room.  The kids were doing circle time with Ms. Kristel.  I almost felt bad for interrupting.  Hopefully some of the kids in his class will be back at school next year.

Alex's teachers also put together a Letter book that he worked on all year.

I love these pictures and how the teacher's set up the shots.  Of course, Alex doesn't remember saying that tunnel time was his favorite thing.  :)

I love this collage, too.  And I wish I knew why Alex was looking at William in the first picture.

Robbie's last day

Robbie's last day of school was May 11th.  I know I'm so far behind!

His last chapel was April 29th.  Every other chapel was during Mom to Mom, so I was able to drop Alex and Catie off in child care and sneak off to chapel (after telling the teachers so they knew where to find me if needed) by myself.  Luckily Matthew came and kept Catie entertained while I sat with Alex.  Robbie's class sang a few songs on stage.  He always does a good job singing and doing the motions.  I think he really enjoys it.

I had a few technical difficulties trying to record Robbie and Alex was trying very hard to get the phone.





This was the best picture I could get of the boys after Robbie came to sit with us.

That night I was given a private concert!







The last day parents were allowed to come in the room early and pick up the kids.  They had a special pizza party, plus juice, ice cream and cupcakes.  I'm sure the teacher only did it because she knew she was sending the kids home for the summer!  The kids finished up, played a game and had a few minutes to say good-bye to their friends.  I was probably a little more sad because 2 of Robbie's friends that were in his class the last 2 years are going to a different school next year.

Mrs. King put together a wonderful memory book of projects throughout the year.

Robbie got 2 report cards this year, one in December and one in May.  I'm so proud of him!
