At the end of the ceremony, the teachers shared what they enjoyed about each child. The teachers said that they liked how Luke was quiet and how he enjoys playing by himself. I guess he is an easy kid to watch while at school.
Luke singing the song "Children and Flowers"
Lyrics: Children and flowers, I picture them the same. They bring out the sunshine, they chase away the rain. But if I should have my way, I would change the world today. I would gather all the children and to them I would say: Don't pick the flowers children, just let them grow. Don't pick the flowers children, cause if you do, you will waste your life away.
So can someone please explain the meaning of this song to us? When Luke was singing it to us at home we doubted his correctness of the lyrics. However when we checked with the teacher at school, he was right. Why will picking the flowers waste your life away? HELP! :)
Luke singing the Good-bye Song
Luke will start the Pre-K program on September 8th. He will go to school from 8:00 a.m. -noon, have lunch with us till 1:00 p.m. and then go back until 3:00 p.m. It will be a long day for him but I think that he will enjoy being with the other children and being indoors in the air conditioning for most of the day. The school and staff are wonderful here. They seem to really enjoy the children and have great activities planned for them. We'll keep you posted on how it all goes!

What a random song! I wonder if it lost it's meaning in a translation somewhere. Luke looks so grown-up! What fun that he has such a great school to go to. I hope he enjoys the Pre-K program. It's probably going to be weird to not have him around the house as much. I can't wait until I can have a little break from Hyrum...sometimes this boy just drives me bonkers!
We are soooooo excited that you'll be in town soon! We can't wait to see you guys again!
That song is a little weird. You'd think they would encourage kids to pick flowers and "stop and smell the flowers". Maybe they think that picking the flowers is like a metaphor for having your head in the clouds... who knows. (Islanders, in my experience, often have that problem.)I think they should ditch that song pronto... not a very upbeat song for kids.
Anyway, That is kinda weird that they send Luke home for lunch... is that just the island culture or what?
