Success! Luke made it through 2 years of preschool and we couldn't have asked for a better experience for him. CMS was good to Luke, his skills improved dramatically from when he started until the end. I'm just astounded that Luke is walking out of preschool with reading skills under his belt. Now Graduation was an experience. The only way to describe it was that Luke was totally "Luke." His class sang 3 songs on stage. During the first song, Luke had to go to the bathroom and was thus escorted off and back on stage. During the second song, Luke swayed side to side and held up his shirt for the audience to see his belly. He may have been doing some lip syncing in there at some point. During the 3rd song, Luke was supposed to give to title of the song to the audience via microphone. Well, he decided he didn't really want to do that. Next, was the crossing over the bridge ceremony. Luke was the first one in his class to go. He hesitated, then finally
ran across the bridge and dove into the arms of his teacher for a goodbye hug. What can I say, at least he adds some flare.
We are sad to be leaving Canandaigua Montessori school behind but it is Luke's time for his rite of passage. Of the 9 children in Luke's class, all but one are heading off to Kindergarten next year. It's a scary thought but Luke is more than ready for the next step - Council Rock Primary School!
