Jase's Preschool Graduation

Jase has been going to preschool for 1 school year (Sept '11-May '12) and they put on a little preschool graduation program. It was really cute! They recited all the nursery rhymes (acted some out as well) and sang all the songs they'd worked on throughout the year. I was really impressed by all the stuff the teacher(s) put together! The kids all had parts to say (memorized) and Jase remembered his so well! Afterwards, Miss Joann handed out handmade scrapbooks she did for each child. It has pictures from various fieldtrips theytook and also other class activities. I loved it!

I got some ideas from pinterest for teacher gifts and ended up buying 2 cute plastic "freezable" cups, filled them with crystal light packets, and tied a Target gift card around the straws that read, "Thanks for keeping me on 'Target' all year. Have a great summer"! I really loved how they came out!



This is sort of what I did with the gift cards...

I bought cups similar to these, filled them with the drink packets, then tied the Target gift cards with notes onto the straws.

 I tried to get pictures with both of his teachers after the graduation, but as usual it's total chaos with kids running around and I was only able to snag one with Miss Joann. It was then she told us that she may not being doing her preschool this next year, depending on if she lands another job or not. Total bummer! So now I've got my eyes and ears open for other preschools in the area because Jase will miss the kindergarten cut off this year (and where we live is pretty rural, so there are not lots of options). I didn't even get any pictures of me, Reub, or Grandma Jenith! Lame. Grandma Connie was planning on coming as well, but her daughter ended up in the hospital with a bad infection and needed her there (she's doing better now, thank goodness). Jase said he wanted donuts for his graduation present, so that's what he got. Heh heh. Afterwards, we came home and grilled some chicken, then put Ian to bed. Grandma J, Jase, and I went into town and shopped a bit (Grandma bought Jase his own set of padlocks and keys, complete with key lock box) and I ended up getting some starter plants for my garden. We met Reub and Ian in town for dinner at a great pizza place and then said our goodbyes to Grandma. It was a good day!

Jase and Miss Joann! She is the best!

Dad drove Jase and Ian to the preschool graduation in "style" on the Ranger, complete with balloons! That's a proud Grandma and brother Ian in the pic!

Froggy song is over and Jase is still playing with the prop!
