Tyler's Last Year of Preschool

This year marks Tyler's last year of preschool. I can't believe this is his 5th year there and he will start big school next year! He was super excited to start his new class this year, the class he refers to as the "big kid class". In his new class, they participate in many units of study and go on three field trips a month. This past week, his class visited Rickwood Caverns as they learned about caves. Tyler had so much fun and said his favorite part was the big playground and riding on the van with his friends. What about the cave??? Isn't that what was supposed to be his favorite thing? Here are some pictures from his trip.

While the subject is school, I have to share Tyler's first homework assignment for his new class. He was asked to color a picture of a toad. He sat down at his little table with his crayons and started pulling out every color except green. The teacher in me was freaking out, telling him that frogs are green and he needs to color it correctly to show his teacher how good of a colorer he is. I was trying to pump him up because he hates to color and usually just scribbles over the page and is finished. Of course, he was arguing with me and telling me to let him do it. I agreed and went to cook dinner. Imagine my surprise when I saw this...

There is hope for my "all boy" to follow directions in school and complete his work correctly. Yay for Tyler!
