Pre-K moves on!

It's the end of another great year!  As the teacher of the 4 and 5 year olds pre-k class, it's always a little sad for me to see the year come to an end.  When you're the teacher of 2's or 3's you know you'll see your little ones next school year.  But when you're the pre-K teacher you know that the fun and work you shared with your students comes to an end on the last day of school.  I am comforted in the fact that I know my kids are ready for the next huge step in their lives, kindergarten!  But it doesn't make saying goodbye any easier for me!  Over the past 21 years I have had many children leave my care.  It's rewarding that some of my past families still remember me and send me updates on their children.  I am thrilled that 2 of my former kids (from my family childcare home that I had for several years) graduated from high school this year and their parents sent me an announcement and invites to their graduation parties.  It is so nice to be remembered!  So here's to the class of 2011!
