In May, Jacob finished Preschool at Merryland Preschool. He loved it there and his teacher definitely has the talent to teach, love and nuture children. I really appreciate her and the things she has taught Jacob. Besides teaching the alphabet and their sounds along with colors, numbers and shapes she also taught life lessons and skills. One of such lessons was repect for our country and the flag. So at the end of the year they had a patriotic program for the parents and handed out “diplomas”. Unfortunately, in my haste to get there on time I remembered the camera but forgot the fresh battery, so this is all I have…

Yankee Doodle Jacob playing his drum.

- The kids had so much fun.

- Sorry this is a really bad photo.
The children sang songs which I was actually surprised they remembered the words to. They also got to play their drums to certain songs and marched around. They loved to show us parents all that they learned in preparation for this program. I was so proud of Jacob that I started to cry. Unfortunately, after this picture my camera gave out so I didn’t get any of him getting his “diploma”. This has been such a great experience for him. He has learned so much and I don’t worry about him entering Kindergarten thanks to Miss Marilyn.
