Last Day of Preschool

Denver had his last day of preschool last Thursday.  It's been amazing for me to think back through the last 8 plus months, and all he has learned.  We worked through our challenges throughout the year, and have come a long ways.  The beginning of the school year Denver did great and loved school, and couldn't wait to go.  Several weeks leading up to our move to our new house he started really struggling with wanting to go and going, but after lots of determination to get through it, AND prayer we were doing pretty good by the end of the year again.  During our struggles with school we also found out Denver was working on making some new friends; it broke my heart that kids have to struggle with making new friends already at his age!

Being silly, walking in line to class for the last time.

We are so thankful for all the things Denver learned this school year, but especially for the growth and knowledge in his faih.  There have been many times where I've turned and looked at Denver in amazement that he knew what ever it was he just said and how amazing and pure a child's faith can be at such a young age.  Our hope and prayer is that his faith and knowledge continues to grow strong.


Denver had a wonderful teacher, Mrs. Korn, and teacher helper, Mrs Greco, whom Denver has come to love.  It was quite a dissapointment to Denver when he learned that he would not have Mrs. Korn for a teacher next fall.  I think it would've been hard for me too, but we'll still get to see her because she'll be Makenna's teacher this fall!  We are so thankful for all Mrs. Korn and Mrs. Greco have taught Denver this past school year.

Mrs. Korn and Mrs. Greco put together a little booklet from the school year that included pictures Denver had drawn and some fun information such as how much he grew physically; this book will be treasured.  Denver grew 2 inches and 2 pounds throughout the school year.  He learned many Bible verses, songs, increased his knowledge on shapes and colors, learned his numbers and letters, how to write his name, and much more.  We are so proud of you Denver!

The following is a picture I stole from a friends blog as I neglected to take my camera to Mother's Day Tea at school.  The 2nd to last week at school Denver had Mother's Day Tea, where he and his classmates put on a little program and had snack with their mother's.  The week before they had Donuts with Dad, and Denver was ecstatic to have his Dad go to school with him.  It was great to spend some time at school with Denver.
