No Longer a Kindergartner

Noah has officially advanced from Kindergarten. We really enjoyed the songs all the kids sang at the celebration. Every single kid sang and they all knew the words and they were all so into it. After the group stuff we went back to his classroom and Mrs. Wilson had awards to pass out. She also talked a little bit about her class. This was her 5th year teaching but her first year at Estes. She spoke so highly of all the kids and about how wonderful the year was with them. I felt my eyes well up with tears a little as she spoke and got emotional herself. You could just tell how incredibly much she loves each of those kids. She had also put together a cute slide show of pictures throughout the year from just playground time to field trips and water days. Not only that but she also put together a small scrapbook for each student. It has record of some of the fun things they did during the year and also shows the progress they made over the school year. I just can't say how much we love Mrs. Wilson. I truly feel we were blessed to have Noah placed in her class. She embraced him from day 1 when he was so terrified and struggled to be away from home. She is so kind and loving and wonderful to those kids. We will miss her greatly next year but are so grateful for the year we spent with her.

He can always spot his mom in the crowd.

 Singing "This Little Light of Mine"
 The best Kinder class ever.

 We are so proud of Noah. He has grown up so much since the rough start of the school year. He made lots of friends, worked hard every day, and was a good example to his class. 
Way to go Noah. We love you so much!
