Last Narrative Report by Teacher Cristy

The last few weeks have been very busy for all. The children worked very hard to do their scrapbooks. As they looked back through each page, they remembered many things that they learned, fun activities that they had, plus memories that they will be carrying with them, hopefully for a very long time. Teh different pages will show bits and pieces of their hard work, creativity, and love for learning. :)

We also had our second semester Assessment, where we again determined how much the children have grown in the different areas of development. Griffin is really a smart boy. Learning concepts has always been easy for him. He thinks faster though than he can write his answers which makes answering worksheets a bit of a challenge for him. And while his ability to handle frustrations has improved, he still gets stressed out once in a while because he always wants things to be perfect.

It has been a very good and fulfilling 10 months! It was long but fun! As I was collating some of their pictures during the first few months, and looked back at some of their pictures last year, I couldn't help but smile, as I see how small they were then, and how grown up they seem now. I am very lucky to have been witness to their laughter, feelings of triumph, success... and also their moments of tears and sadness, fear and anger, and even of disappointment. How lucky I truly am, to have been able to hug them and be given a big hug in return.

I now say good-bye, with a sad and happy heart. I had a wonderful time with the children and will truly miss them, especially those who will be going to big school already (Griffin being one of them). I learned much from them, maybe even more than what they've learned from me. Allow me to say again, thank you for entrusting Griffin to us here at KIDS. It has been a privilege to be part of his small school experience.

Love,
Teacher Cristy

P.S.
We will pray for a safe delivery for you and your baby. We hope to see you again in a few years when it's your little one's time to start school.
