Colson has learned so much this year and matured. In school, he was always a rule follower and a model student. Over the year however, he did blossom with his academics, as well as his confidence. He has more confidence in is academic abilities and also in how outgoing he is. At the beginning of the year, he was very shy and didn't speak much. Now, he often shares and is very verbal. (however he is still shy!) Academically, he knows almost all of the letters and many sounds, can count (with a couple of reminders) to 100, can write his name and colors beautifully.
Colson's last day was spent up at Mud Mountain Dam. Grandma Kathy was here this week and took Colson on the field trip. They had a good time and enjoyed a magician and then a lot of play time. Colson was very intrigued with the magician and told me every detail when he got home. Grandma Kathy said Colson was very content and happy and just played and played. They were one of the last few of the preschool group to leave the park!

The end of the year concert/graduation was held that same night in the auditorium at White River Middle School. The preschoolers had a number of songs to sing and then they received their awards. Colson has been singing the songs to me for weeks and we were looking forward to hearing them all and seeing the movements that went with. Colson wasn't too excited about going, but warmed up when we got there and he saw his teachers. All of the preschoolers stayed with their parents until just before it was time to sing. When they called everyone up, Colson refused to go, started to cry and held on for dear life. I was able to get him Ms. Ann, but he never sang one word of any song. Sigh. He did stop crying and I saw a couple of smiles. Oh well. That is Colson.

Overall, what a great year of preschool for Colson! We are so proud of him!
