Preschool year 1 is in the books!

First Day:

Last Day:

Here is Annalie with her wonderful teachers!

Annalie really loved preschool. She learned so much and has picked up many new skills. Her favorite jobs were "calendar girl," line leader, light switcher, and bell ringer. She loved spending time with her big buddy. It was a great year, and she will be excited to return to the 4 year old class in the fall!
