LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL

It is hard to believe that school is coming to a close for another year. Last week Madi had her presentation day at school and received her award for EXCELLENT APPLICATION AND PROGRESS IN ALL AREAS. She also got her school report - which is pretty much her report card (but they only get them twice a year). Her teacher. Mrs. Pritchard, said many good things about her and her progress this year. Her final words are as follows,

"Madisen is to be commended for excellent work habits and makes wise use of all avaliable time. She is consolidating knowledge and making excellent academic progress. Madisen has been a delight to teach."

Hopefully this will last forever...LOL!!! After the presentation we went out where the kids were having lunch and got a few shots of Madi and some of her friends.

Yesterday Cooper had his last day at preschool - I can hardly believe that my little man will be starting kindergarten next year. They had a little musical presentation where they sang lots of fun songs. It was great to see Cooper concentrate so hard to get all the moves and words right. After all the songs were sung a special visitor came.....Santa brought each of the kids a book. Then they had a party and ate fun foods before saying goodbye.

The day before Cooper had brought home is portfolio (or as he calls it his cookfolio) which was full of pictures and work from throughout the year. What a great thing for his teachers to do and what great memories for us. We will put it in Cooper's special box when we get back to Utah. They also gave us a CD of pictures they took through the year of Cooper hard at work and play at school. Here are a few of the pictures of Cooper this year at preschool.
