Lucy's first Star Day

Last week was Lucy's first Star Day in 3K. The star gets to bring a surprise in the mystery bag and give the class three clues to guess what's inside. It gives each child exposure to some "public speaking," if you will. Lucy had a brief moment where she told me she wanted me to be the one to give the clues, but I told her she would do great and she did! Her teacher, Mrs. Heinemann, is such a loving and nurturing woman who really gives Lucy tender encouragement.


Here Lucy is revealing her surprise: what other than a hippo. Of course.


Then the star goes around the circle giving each student a chance to see the item up close. This little girl is Winnie, one of Lucy's favorite friends in school this year.


Super serious Lucy. I treasure these moments that I get to peek into what her world is like in 3K. It's been a great place for her to develop.

And eating her special cookie for her special star day. Great job, Lucy! You are always our little star. We love you!
