Audrey had a wonderful time in Joy School this year. I was lucky enough to work with a great group of moms and the kids were a lot of fun as well. There were five children participating for the first half of the year, and then the last half of the year we had four children. So, that meant we had to teach every fourth or fifth week. We had a good balance of boys and girls, so that was nice. Joy School was held on Tuesdays and Thursdays for 2 1/2 hours. Each week we focused on a letter of the alphabet. Once we got through the alphabet, we did a combination of numbers and shapes. We had already done colors the previous year. Joy School was normally held at the teacher's house. But there were a few special days where the kids went on field trips. This year they went to the zoo, Houston Museum of Natural Science in Sugar Land, a fire station, and Kroger (a local grocery store). We also had a few weeks where we focused on holidays and the kids enjoyed parties those weeks as well.
We got together on June 5 to have a graduation ceremony and party for the kids. Jessica hosted at her house, which was great since it was definitely warm enough to swim! :) We had a quick graduation ceremony, ate some lunch, and then the kids enjoyed the pool.
Audrey, the Graduate:
It took Audrey a little while to warm up to the slide, but once she did she didn't give Jessica much of a break:
I found these massive cupcakes at Costco (the picture doesn't do them justice) and just couldn't pass them up. So, after playing in the pool we cut each of these cupcakes in half (we probably could have done fourths) and the kids enjoyed a cupcake.
We had so much fun this past year in Joy School! I was just thinking of the friends Audrey made and how she'll miss them this coming year. It's too bad none of them are going to the preschool she'll be attending soon. But Audrey will be able to make new friends and of course still get together with her Joy School friends as well.
