Joy School Graduation

 

We had a cute, little graduation for Joy School.  The kids performed songs they had learned, and each child shared something they had made during the joy school year.

Joy School for Lennon

I was so lucky, so SO incredibly lucky, to have participated in Joy School this year for Lennon!  Joy School is a at-home preschool program, in which you take turns teaching with other mom's.  The lessons focus on teaching Joy's... with the philosophy that happy children become strong students.  The mom's and cute kids that were a part of Joy School with us... are just awesome!  Lennon and I love each one of them and had such a great time!

It was a great experience to be part of Joy School this year, but the best part was this handsome guy... my Lenny boy!  He is beyond amazing! He brings me so much JOY... every. single. day.  Oh, how I love him.

I can't believe how much Susie has grown this year in school.  She loved first grade!  I loved looking through her folder each day when she would come home from school, to see what she had been learning.  I loved our conversations of what she experienced each day as a first grader.  She is blossoming beautifully. So so proud of her!  Love my Susie girl.
