LAST DAY OF SCHOOL



Yesterday was Nicholas' last day of school. It is hard to believe how quickly this year has flown by and how much Nicholas has grown in every way- physically, mentally, and emotionally. Here are some highlights.

Nicholas can read, write, solve equations, and express his feelings in painting, poetry, or pottery. He is confident and looks people, including grown-ups, in the eye when he talks to them. His passion when discussing his interests is uncontainable. His encyclopedic knowledge now extends beyond animals to instruments and all things Star Wars (FYI, if you are wondering what to get him for his birthday next month, the answer is Star Wars).

There are people from his class whom he loves dearly and who love him dearly. These include not only his friends but his teachers Lori and Toby pictured below, whom he will have for a second year due to the mixed grade classes. Yippee!





The list of other changes is innumerable but all together positive. Indeed, sometimes it is easy to forget that Nicholas is still a little boy and not yet six years old. He constantly surprises and amazes me, and I have enjoyed this year immensely. I look forward to many more wondrous years ahead at Arbor, and I look forward to watching him grow into the boy whom he will become.
