ANOTHER YEAR IN THE BOOKS

We have come to the end of another school year. Our circus party was a great success! I added 5 new games to the first part of the day. Along with the 10 games from last year, there were games of Circus Lotto, Circus Matching,  Play dough Clowns and Elephants, Circus Computer games and Pin-the-Nose-On-the-Clown. Freckles came to do her thing once again. Owen was a great Clown Assistant and found her magic very entertaining.



We then ate our Circus snack, and finished the day with diplomas for our graduates, gifts for all and a final class picture of everyone. Beautiful day!



Seven of our fifteen children have left the program. We said a sad goodbye to Iris, Isaac, Anthony, Owen, Abram, Roscoe and Riley. The other 8 children have decided to continue with our program for the "optional extended year" (another three weeks in June) after which we will close for the summer. This has to be the fastest year I have ever experienced at this Playschool.
