A few weeks ago, Ella finished up her first year of “big school”. We have the pleasure of having a four year old Pre-Kindergarten program at our public school and Ella attended this year. It is on the same schedule and calendar as the elementary school, so she had a year of practice before they start keeping up with absences! The last week of class, parents were invited to attend an end of the year party with a little presentation of awards. Ella was so proud to have us there and it was fun to see her in action with her friends. She loved her teacher this year and had such a wonderful experience. Growing up is bittersweet, but I am so excited to see her grow and learn as she moves into Kindergarten next year.
