Oh, my little boys are growing up! Bryce graduated from his preschool this year (May 19) and will be going to Kindergarten next year. The way Bryce's preschool is set up, they have a Mon/Wed class and a Tues/Thurs class. Bryce's delays have been severe enough that he has qualified to go to both classes (so he goes 4 days). Because of this, Bryce ends up doing two programs at the end of the year. I went to both, but forgot my camera the first time (darn it!). This year they performed and sang Nursery Rhymes. In the first program Bryce played the cat in Hey Diddle Diddle. He was so cute in his little costume. I really wish I had a picture of it! These pictures are from his second program. He played the mouse in Hickory Dickory Dock. I recorded it, so I didn't get a picture of him doing the actual part. It was very cute. While the kids sang the song, Bryce jumped UP when the mouse ran up the clock (with his teacher's help), and squatted DOWN when the mouse ran down. Okay, so the mouse went up and down a lot. LOL. He had a lot of fun, and it was cute to see him doing his part and having fun with the songs.
(See the boy 3 down from Bryce? That was the costume Bryce wore the first day)
Bryce and his teacher Miss Nicole. We're going
to miss her! She was so great with Bryce the last few years.
As I mentioned, Bryce will be going to Kindergarten next year. This district has been SO great in regards to their special education program. They have placed Bryce in what they call a self-contained Kindergarten. He won't be going to the same school as Isaac and Parker, but will actually be attending a school in Salem called Salem Hills Elementary. Josh and I went in and met the teacher. She is great. We were really impressed with the teacher, the school, the class, and all of the aides. I think Bryce will do great there and have a lot of fun. It's an all day Kindergarten, so all my kids except Quinn will be in school full-time next year! That will be so weird! I'm so thankful to have such a good system in place for Bryce and such great teachers and aides there to help him progress. They are all so willing to do their best to help him and to find what works best for him and the things he specifically needs. It's hard as parents to accept that your little boy won't be able to go to a regular kindergarten and have the same experiences as his brothers (or go to the same school for that matter), but I do know that he'll be in a good place and that it's really the best place for him. We are so proud of Bryce and the progress he's made during his preschool years. Preschool has made an amazing difference with his development and progress. We're excited for him to start Kindergarten!
