Willem's Last Day of School

 
                                  
                                       Last Day of School                                                     First Day of School
                                                                    
 
Willem truly blossomed this year in school. He became a confident, outgoing kid. He was friends with every child in his class and was in his element in the classroom. He took great pride in being a 2nd year and having additional responsibility to mentor the 3 year olds grown up so much this year. He got to set the lunch table, help with dishes, and get the meals from the cafeteria. It helped that he had a new teacher this year, Ms. Denise, who was amazing!!
 
By Christmas he was reading Bob books on his own and by the end of the year he could read Step 1 & 2 books. Reading has opened a whole new world to our Curious Willem. We had lots of interesting conversations en route to school as he was reading the signs we pass along the way, the advertisements, etc.

Willem is sad that this is his last year at Faith North, he wanted to collect all of their phone numbers so he could stay in touch. Willem has really come into his own this year and is such a social butterfly. Was sad to say good bye to the community we'd created at Faith North but a new door has opened and we're excited to see what comes of our move to Villa next year.
