It was Connor’s last day of preschool yesterday.  The school had a special “Circus Day” event to celebrate.  Connor was very excited and counted down to this day as he often does with any big events.  The students were allowed to wear any costumes for the day, and Connor finally decided to be a knight.  He also took some time to figure out the right pants to pair with the knight top.  At the end trying on different pants, he agreed with a long black pants, and after he checked himself out at the mirror, he came back to tell me “This looks perfect, I will wear this tomorrow”. 

     When I came home from the work dinner last night, Connor was so happy to share “I had a very fun day”.  He wore his knight costume all day, he received a fake tattoo and face painting.  The students played games in their room, visited other classrooms, and jumped in a bouncy house.  After telling me about the fun day, Connor also added “I am not a preschooler anymore.  I am a Kindergartener now”.  He is very proud!

    Connor also brought home the class picture and his last report card.  He reached “achieved all the time” in almost all 30 categories except “most of the time” with ‘hopping’ and ‘communicates comfortably with peers’.  I think Connor is truly ready for grade school now.
