Today was our end-of-the-year Open House for my Pre-K class. The day went wonderfully. First, the parents sat with us at circle time, and joined us in our calendar routine. The kids did fabulously (made me look good!). Everyone loved the scrapbooks I made for the kids. Then we went to snack, and the parents ate with the kids.

At 10 sharp we met in the trike yard, did a short performance of our sign language song, gave the kids their certificates, and then we had refreshments and lots of conversation. It was so relaxed and just wonderful. The kids had a lot of fun (it was much less structured and more low-key than last year). The parents were beaming and us teachers were relaxed. It was bitter-sweet though, because it was 6 of our kids' last day.
