School Field Trip and Last Days...

  James and I were lucky enough to be able to attend William's Kindergarten Field trip to the Shenandoah National Forest! We all had a blast learning more about the life cycle of plants and keeping our environment safe!  Plus a good Hike and Picnic is Always Fun!!!




  James's last day of Preschool at First Presbyterian! We are really going to miss all their smiling faces! It was really a fabulous place for my boys to begin their school experiences!


  William's last day of Kindergarten! I Can Not Believe how fast this first year has gone! William is going to miss all his friends and especially Mrs. Dixon and Mrs. Cicitelli!

William's Kindergarten Concert!


William's Kindergarten concert this year was a combination of their Music, Art, and Science class.  They did little skips, songs, and art work based on the life cycle of a plant! It was Super Cute and all the kids worked really hard! William not only made a picture of the flowering plant he was one of the actors that acted out the words of the song of the seed growing into the plant!
