Erin and Austin both went to the same pre-school, Miss Helen's pre-school. I have been SO impressed with her. She has taught my kids so much. I even have had Ivy signed up to be in her pre-school since she was born (Her classes are really hard to get in to and she has LONG waiting lists.)
Erin has been in her class for 2 years now and absolutely loves Miss Helen. Every year Miss Helen does a graduation at Barkers fish farm. The kids do a presentation where they say the pledge (one thing they have worked on all year long) and they sing songs like Miss Mary Mack, Going on a Bear Hunt, Teddy Bear, etc. After the presentation Miss Helen presents each of the graduates as they walk over a cute little bridge to represent crossing over to kindergarten. Then everybody fishes and there is a large BBQ. It is such a fun event!
Here is Erin as she is walking over the bridge.
Erin and one of her little pre-school friends, Michael.
Erin decided AFTER she caught her fish that she didn't like the idea of catching fish! She was mortified by the whole process.
Ivy, however caught 2 and would have caught more if we hadn't stopped her. (The fish are pretty easy to catch obviously!) Austin caught a couple of fish also but was down at a different fish hole with Grandpa so I have no pictures of his fish :(
Erin, Michael, and Miss Helen.

Congrats Erin! What a neat teacher and graduation tradition. Does this mean we are on to kindergaden? I love Erin's face with the fish!!! Poor thing looks traumatized!
Wow, Barker's Fish Farm is really pretty!! What a great teacher. That picture of Erin is classic. That is exactly how I feel about fishing. Are you out of school for the summer?
