End of the school year 2011

Hailee has grown so much from the beginning of the year. She started the school year as a shy, timid little girl. She was afraid to go to school and cried a lot. Over the course of 9 months she matured and blossomed into this confident, intelligent girl who absolutely adored her teacher Mrs. Sadeghipour, and all her friends, and loved going to school. She is having a hard time today as the school year came to a close. She doesn't was to leave Kindergarten and even cried herself to sleep. It breaks my heart that she is heartbroken about the Kindergarten year coming to an end but I am confident she will LOVE being a 1st grader as well! I am sad to see her grow up so fast but am so proud of all her accomplishments this year. Perfect report card, independent reading, 100% on all her homework and classwork all year long, zero tardies...the list goes on and on:) We are so happy that her transfer was approved and she can continue her education at Newland. Excellent school and wonderful staff.
Way to go Hailee..you're awesome!!!

Excellent reader medal
Last day as a Kindergartener!!

Miss Hanna has sure blossomed this year in preschool as well. She started her first year as a preschooler very shy and timid just like Hailee was with Kindergarten. She has grown so much and absolutely loved her teacher Miss Lauren and going to school to see all of "her friends." She can write her name and recognize and write all the letters of the alphabet. She can count to 60!! She may be right on track for a 3 year old but it still impresses me that someone so small can hold so much knowledge! She learned a lot about Jesus and I just loved hearing all the stories through the eyes of a little kid.
Hanna's teacher wrote a little something about each student that she shared with the class on the last day of school. She said the sweetest things about her so I am going to write it down on here so I have it to share with her in the future.
This is what she said...

" Hanna is one of the most mature 3 year old's I've ever met and I just adore everything about her. She follows directions so well and always does her very best no matter what the task is. Hanna came into the class so shy and quiet and throughout the year I have seen her come out of her shell and become this witty girl with so much personality. One of the gifts I have seen in Hanna this year is Peace. She has the ability to stay calm even when things seem a bit challenging. One of my favorite things about Hanna is that she doesn't hesitate to help her friends in need, whether it is cleaning, cutting, and putting shoes on. I'm really going to miss Hanna this summer and have been bless to have her in my class."

I am so happy that Hanna will be returning to Joyful Noises Preschool next year. We adore the staff and just love the school. Way to go Hanna!
