Logan's First Year of Preschool

Logan had a great first year of preschool! We discovered that he is a very friendly, social and outgoing kid and he really flourished this last year in school. In March, I wasn't sure if he'd still want to go to school after his best friend Connor moved. They went to school together every Monday & Friday and were two peas in a pod. His teachers were concerned as well since they were connected at the hip in the classroom and Logan regularly told everyone that he'd be moving with Connor. But he did fine after Connor left. I prepared him for several months before he moved so it wasn't such a huge shock to him. It was good to see that he was able to adjust to a big change in his life. Most of my other children have a hard time with big changes so it was refreshing to see that Logan handled it well and continued to look forward to going to preschool every week.

During Logan's last week of school, he went on a field trip to the farm, had a Father's Night party at school and had an end-of-school family picnic at the park. He's sad it's over and wants to go to the same preschool again next year. He liked his teachers and some of the same friends will be in his class again next fall. I volunteered in his class twice a month and each time I took him to school he'd say, "Are you going to school with me today?" I loved seeing him interact with his friends & teachers and will volunteer in the class again next year. (His last year before kindergarten!!)
