Our Little Caterpillar Is Now a Butterfly!

Emma is an official preschool graduate!!! Jeff can't wait to see what I am going to be like when the kids graduate from high school and college! I guess I tend to be pretty sentimental ;) But I am so proud of Emma! She has had such a wonderful year in preschool! She has learned so much and made some really sweet friends. Emma's class was called the Caterpillar class. Her two teachers, Mrs. Diggs and Mrs. Harper, told the kids they would turn into butterflies at the end of the year :) They sent home a book this past week that the children had made. Here is what it said...

The egg is the beginning of a butterfly's life.
The tiny caterpillar hatches and eats leaves.
The caterpillar turns into a chrysalis.
Out of the chrysalis comes a butterfly!


This hung above Emma's locker in her classroom.


The first thing the kids were supposed to do when they came in the classroom was to find the clothespin with their name on it. They clipped it on this cute bucket. I teared up a little when I saw this in her backpack ;)



Emma's diploma!


Our last car ride to preschool :)


We usually waited in this line every morning to drop off Emma. But we walked in together on her last day.

We always had to stop at the fountain on our way to her classroom.



The kids had a fun water party to celebrate their last day! The parents didn't come to that party or I would have pictures. But it sounds like it was quite a party! Emma said they had lots of water games and sprinklers, bubbles, a jump house and snow cones! But we did come to the classroom party! They had a fun luau party!
