More zoo fun in 2011

We just love the zoo! Here's some pics from our 2nd trip of 2011 with Ashlee's buddy, Tyler!

Ashlee attended her first VBS this year at Southeast Christian Church. She had so much fun playing, learning about God, singing, and playing some more. When I asked her what she learned, she really didn't have much to say, but she sure could talk about the bounce house, water fights and bean bag toss! :)

This is what happens....

Last day of Preschool and Field Day

Ashlee has had such a great time in preschool this year. Not only has she made good friends, had fun, and had wonderful teachers, but she has grown so much socially and educationally. Some of her favorite projects this year were watching caterpillars cocoon and turn into butterflies, going on a field trip to the museum, planting her own flower seeds and watching them grow, and the daily job chart. Let me tell you about the "job chart". Those little kiddos loved that thing, I think it gave them a since of responsibility and purpose! Everyday Ashlee would tell me who what her job was, and what Lina's job was, and Trinidee's and David's and on and on. The most coveted job of all was the "Weather Bear Helper". Don't ask me why, but the kids loved it when that was their job!

So, after only 1 year of school, se is no longer my insanely shy, timid girl. She has gained so much confidence (as witnessed at her dance recital) and learned so much (as seen when she writes her name and knows all her letter sounds). We are going to miss alot of her dear friends next year as they move up to Kindergarten, but I know she will have no trouble making new ones. I look forward to another year of her learning and falling more in love with school!
