St Martin Kindergarten

LAST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN
Here is Brecon with his teachers, Frau Mizer and Frau Ertl. We loved them and all their kindness for the children in the Regenbogen Gruppe (Rainbow Group) They were so sweet and gave Brecon special attention on this last day. He was able to share a small treat with the entire class and all the children drew a small picture in his friend book.

Frau Kraus also helped in the afternoons and made sure Brecon was using the German language whenever possible.
The fun classroom with toys, tables, puzzles, and games. Their artwork was displayed out in the hallway with their coats and shoes. I loved how they had to change into shoes for inside the classroom everyday. Brilliant for keeping the room clean from the outside dirt.

As we picked up Brecon  that afternoon the teachers all gave him big hugs and said good things to him. "We are going to miss you" "Safe travels in your journey" etc.. Frau Mizer was especially emotional when she gave Brecon her last hug goodbye. They really love their kindergarten children! And so do I!

I was so grateful for the kindness they showed to Brecon, and to me. They were very encouraging with my small attempts of German with them. I know I sounded pretty awful but they were smiling and excited when I would try to speak it. This opportunity helped our family in so many ways. Brecon was able to be in a place that was his own and not be overshadowed by Cael. When Ben was deployed it was a great way to get me going for the day. I was so exhausted with the pregnancy and running errands with Connor that it was a real blessing to have this wonderful place where Brecon was learning and interacting with other children. I love this place!
