I can't believe our little bear is all done with preschool. He attended Jubilee Montessori for two years and has grown tremendously during that time. When he first started school I couldn't imagine that he was actually sitting at a table with other children interacting, eating lunch, working on projects. Now, when I pick him up I can hardly pull him away from his friends and his "lessons". When he first started he refused to hold hands and walk to the playground with the other children. Now, he regularly leads the pack of kids as they go to and from the local playground. He wouldn't eat any of the food they served but now he regularly asks for beans, rice and corn at home (his favorite lunch food at school) and he even occasionally wants to eat salad like Ms. Young's.
He works so hard at school and can now form all the letters and write many words on his own. He is learning to read and sound out words. Throughout his two years he has produced a mountain of artwork including many "writer's notebooks". His notebooks have come from scribbles on a page entitled "explosion" to elaborate drawings including a recent one of the inside of our house complete with kitchen, washer dryer, stairway and front door. Another recent one included Mama, Wyatt, Malcolm and flying bat and a giant T-Rex playing on the playground. We are so proud of our little Mr. Pickle and can't wait to watch him continue to grow.
The photos are of Wyatt's teacher, Ms. Young, and his first day - September 2009 - and his last day - August 2011.
