Kyson's Graduation

We decided to put Kyson in a Montessori school this year because it was the only reasonably priced program that we could find that was every day.  I have to say, it has been a wonderful thing for him.  Even his teacher, Ms. Edvik, said he has made a ton of progress and probably would have been labeled as a "problem kid" early on.  Not because he's naughty, but because he didn't like to participate.  He's doing so much better. 

He's also being more socially aware.  He's had trouble in every school with bullying and tackling kids.  He doesn't quite understand that he's being rude.  At the Montessori school, they've addressed those kinds of behaviors and Kyson has improved significantly in that area as well.  The only thing I feel bad about is that he's been moved to a new school every year.  He's starting Challenger this year, and will eventually go back to Butterfield Canyon.  I hope that the changes will not hurt him socially or take away friends that he could have.

Ms. Edvik, Kyson's teacher, has been such a blessing to us.  I'm so grateful that she was his teacher this year.  She's been so good to Kyson and worked with him so much.  She's loved him despite his shortcomings and she has been so good for Kyson.  I'm so grateful for the awesome teachers that my kids have had so early on.

For Kyson's program, they did a pot-luck dinner at a park.  It was wonderful, but the wind was very strong.  It's too bad too, because the location was perfect and the people were so nice to talk to.  They did a short program outside.  They sang a few songs, and each Kindergarten student had 2 speaking parts.  Kyson talked about kites and the lessons on flight they learned.  He also spoke about the state of New Hampshire.  He did an awesome job - once again, I only wish it wasn't windy.
