Lucy's Last!

Lucy is a lover of many things-- 4yr old preschool potentially being at the top of that list. Her last day was this past Thursday, and she had to bid farewell to her friends and teachers.

Every morning at 11:30 a.m. they'd line up outside the church and be picked up by their mom or dad, which was Zach's favorite part of the the day. He loved when Lucy was finished with preschool so she could go home and play with him! Lucy was once again the tallest one in her class by a mile.
I usually got a tackle-hug from Luce because she was SO excited to tell me all about her day! I will miss that next year if she ends up riding the bus!
Lucy with her teacher Mrs. Gerdes, who was pretty strict with the kids, but Lucy never seemed to mind and really liked her. She learned SO much this year!
Lucy with her BFF Brooke Lynn! Meeting her sure made the transition from Las Vegas a lot easier, and they were peas in a pod all year long.
That night they had one final concert, where they presented "The Fruits of the Spirit." Each preschool class (the 3 year olds and 4 year olds-- so there were like 6 total) each represented a "fruit" and Lucy's class were peaches, which symbolized "gentleness" because you have to be gentle when you handle a peach. Each class sang a really cute song, and recited a poem about their fruit of the spirit, and then they all recited some Latin songs they'd memorized. It was a GREAT program!
Kindergarten or BUST!!

What a cute little peach in that last picture. I'm so glad you found such a great preschool for Lucy. Sounds like quite a worthy endeavor to teach preschoolers Latin. Good job Lucy!

Lucy recited her "Gentleness" poem for us. It was so adorable. I was very impressed that she remembered all that!
