Officially a Kindergartner ...


Graduation...









Shae "graduated" from preschool this week! The end of the school year was definitely bittersweet for her! She loves school, so she was a little sad about being done, but very excited that she'll get to go 5 days a week in kindergarten! 

Her year of preschool was a great one! Her teacher was wonderful, I loved her! It is a small program at a church right by our house, but her teacher was great and she did an amazing job of mixing in faith with learning. It's a very neat little school! She and Sophia loved being together and it was always fun to pick them up from school and hear what each one would report on. They get along very well! 

I will definitely be sad when this summer flies by and it's time for her to start Kindergarten. I love having her home and the thought of releasing her to someone else for 1/2 a day 5x a week, seems a little difficult :). But, she is MORE than ready and it's fun to see how much she loves to learn. 

We have spent the past few months really praying about where she will go in the fall. We want her to be in school with her cousins and so together with Jill and Darren we looked at a few different options, really we are blessed because there are a lot of good schools right around us. We decided that the best fit is a k-8 Charter school, Chandler Woods. We just found out this week that Shaelyn is off the waiting list and accepted, so that's exciting! It's about 12-15 minutes from our house and there are not buses, so from that aspect it will be a commitment, but it seems like a good fit for the time! It's amazing that we have already reached this phase of life! 

As a proud Mommy, I thought I'd share what Shaelyn's teacher wrote about her for the end of the year report. I'm definitely proud of what a kind, thoughtful little girl she is! We pray she'll continue to be a leader and grow in confidence! What a blessing she is!!
