Ellis' Joy School Year

Do you recognize this boy?

 Almost a year ago, Ellis was starting his very first Joy School group.  I think he looks so young in this picture!

Ellis was SO proud of himself for being able to do Joy School like Henry did, but with his very own group.  He especially loved having Joy School at our house so he could see the behind-the-scenes planning that went on when it was my turn to teach.  This is the best Joy School House that I have made - it included some digital graphics and Velcro dots!

During the year, Ellis also participated in Pre-K sports through the town, which he was also very proud of.

He loved being with his friend, Ethan!

I am so proud of Ellis for learning so much in Joy School and for being such a good boy at school.  I loved the memories we made together!  I will admit, I got super stressed about teaching Joy School each time, mostly because it took so much time and made it hard to be a mom before and after, but it really was such a fun memory.  I am happy that Ellis will get to go to a separate preschool this year, but it was so special to have this time with him.
