Preschool Graduate

Katie celebrated her last day of preschool on Thursday, May 28th.  Katie had such a fun year in Mrs. Hammer’s preschool.  School was twice a week for 2.5 hours and there were only 6-7 kiddos in her class.  Katie learned so much.  It’s shocking to me how quickly she picked up reading – honestly it seems she went from just knowing letter sounds to full on reading.  When it clicked, it clicked.

Mrs. Hammer put together a comparison from the beginning of the year and the end of the year.  Katie learned to write with proper upper/lower case letters and her drawings are much more detailed.  She is also very particular about coloring – she’s stays in the lines and uses lots of different colors.   Katie grew TWO whole inches in the last nine months!    

Mrs. Hammer sent us pictures of various activities throughout the year…

Mrs. Hammer held a graduation party with the graduate’s Moms (and younger siblings) on the last day of school.

Katie received her diploma.

And a fun alphabet book with pictures of the kids throughout the year.

The moms all went in on a beach bag full of summer goodies for Mrs. Hammer. She loved it!

I’m so glad we were able to find a preschool close to home for Katie to attend that wasn’t too expensive.  Mrs. Hammer is actually a great friend of mine and I loved watching her get to know and love my sweet Katie.
