End of school

I am late posting but I thought I should say a little about the end of school. Better late than never.
Grade five has come to an end for Jade and preschool is finished for Nathan. Jade was thrilled for summer break...Nathan was not. Nate was on a wave of difficult behaviour with the end of school. I am sure it was related to the end of preschool and not understanding completely what was going on. There was talk about school's next year and missing friends. Nathan really does better when he has a schedule and knows what he can expect every day. Change does not come easy.
Preschool was a great experience for Nathan and for me. Socially it was great to meet Mom's with kids the same age and that are going through the same issues. For Nathan he learned so much...he lost some of his shyness and made some great buddies. We will miss preschool.
Jade had a great year at school. Her first year in the gifted program. Her report was great. It was a big change from her last school but she did an excellent job of getting involved and moving forward.
