It is amazing to think I wrote about J's Preschool graduation here just two years ago, and now he has graduated first grade.
J has a lot of struggles with transitions, and he was fully aware yesterday that the school year was coming to an end. Even before we left the classroom, his eyes were misty and the corners of his mouth turned down as he anticipated the end of his time in Ms. Potato's class. By the time we finished his afternoon session (and his little brother's too) at REINS, and headed off to dinner, he was downright morose. Not to worry - Ms. Potato is just a phone call away, and after a brief phone call J was feeling marginally better. Today, J will write a letter to Ms. Potato - an exercise that always seems to help him sort and settle things out.
Here is the message the Ms. Potato had for us parents. If you had ever met this wonderful teacher, you'd know that she means every word of it.

Looks like a great letter. Did you mean for the picture to pop out? It's not working on my Safari browser. I would love to read it.
I don't know, K. I've not used Safari. For some reason it won't blow up on Chrome either - perhaps because it is a scanned image? I'll work on it.
Good for J, good for you, and props to the school.
Have a great summer!
Joe (who was barely able to read the letter by squinting-it's nice).
