Lizzy's Preschool Graduation

I can't believe a whole school year has gone by!  Today was Lizzy's preschool graduation.  I was full of emotions as I watched her stand up with her class and present the short program they had prepared. They performed songs and stories that they had learned in class.  Lizzy's favorites were Up on the House Top, Pete the Cat, and I'm a Mean Old Witch with a Hat.  She said her part timidly in the microphone: "We learned about life cycles and things that grow."  I am proud of her for doing well in preschool.  She learned many new things during the school year.  She learned how to write her name, identify colors, become more familiar with the alphabet and numbers, and memorize songs.  I think the most important lessons she learned this year was how to socialize with others her own age, and how to discipline herself by getting to class on time. It took her a while to get used to the routine of going to school, but she became better and better at it as the year progressed.  She even became more willing to wear clothes other than dress-up dresses, which was a huge accomplishment-- believe me!

Grandma and Grandpa Whitcomb and Valeen came to Lizzy's graduation.
