Getting ready for BIG CHANGES

As we have Spring coming to an end and Summer is approaching.  Madeline will be leaving World Academy and transition to a new school in Londonderry.  We feel that at this point her education she should she be in a class that she will make friends with and graduate from school to school.  It was a harder transition I feel for me then her even though still to this day she asks about her friend at World Academy.
As we left WA she enjoyed all the friends she has made and teachers she enjoys seeing everyday.

A few weeks prior to leaving WA I was lucky to see many of the different projects she has been working on.  Learning about colors, shapes, sounds and working on our writing skills has been so exciting.  She is not a girly girl BUT love her dinosaurs, cars and trains.  Seeing how she interprets what Dinosaurs should look, sound is fun.  They also would read a story and create art projects that interpreted what the next part of their story is, is amazing.






Her new school, World of Discovery she was very excited and I feel that it is also due to maturity.  She picked out her own outfit for the 1st day and was ready to make new friends.  Nervouse about her teacher but that is understanable.

As we parked and went into her school she was excited to see her new classroom and HUGE playground.  She walked with me to her room and placed her backpack on her hook found her new cubbie and then we walked outside where all the kids were swinging on the swings and playing with trucks.


As Madeline finished her time at World Academy.  Dominic was graduating Kindergarten at Moose Hill.  I have been so happy to see all the new things Dominic has been learning at his school, friends that have been made and his self confidence.



Now its Dominic's turn to close out the year at Moose Hill an get ready for First Grade!  I cannot believe how big he has gotten from the 1st day to the last.  Not only has he made so many new friends.  What he has learned to prepare him for reading and math has been so exciting to watch.  From learning site words, how to rhyme, sound out new words and attempt to learn how to add.  

One afternoon daddy surprised the kids to the park & ice cream.  These extra moments are so special!

Kindergarten graduation is finally here. I cannot believe Dominic is entering grade school nest year.  I know we are both so proud of everything Dominic has learned and the new school with new friends has been very exciting new challenge.  There was never a day that went by where he came home sad.  In Londonderry there is AM or PM Kindergarten.  Dominic attended AM and was able to take the bus from home every morning with his neighborhood friends.  This was also nice because Dominic was able to hang our with dad even more.  






After we were ending the month of June.  The kids and I were getting excited up like we do every summer for the BEACH!!  The 1st trip we know to bring our sweatshirts for the AM then it gets warmer.  This year we were up and out the door very early,  There is nothing like being the 1st ones there and getting the best spot.  We have to keep in mind when 'high' tide comes in and work the system.

We pick our spot and today we decided to venture off and look for critters.  We found so many snails and minos in the morning.  We took our bucket and filled it every few hours with our new found friends.




Then we blew up our pool and started to create our castle community with crazy moat and so much more. This year Dominic decided to bury his little sister and make her a mermaid.
