Last Friday we celebrated the Kindergarten Class of 2013. Although kindergarten graduations are becoming a thing of the past, our school thoughtfully marks the transition from kindergarten to first grade, and our children love nothing better than an opportunity to celebrate. That's a win-win, and the duo will tell you win-win is Habit 4 of the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People -- just one myriad concepts they learned this year.
Gracie's thoughts on kindergarten: I love kindergarten because I like to write in my journal.
Lauren's thoughts: I love kindergarten because it's fun, like math work and 1, 2, 3, 5 and ABC's and new tricks and new songs and PE. That's all fun. We get to write in our writer's notebook!
The class performed an adorable program consisting of Mickey Mouse songs and some of the songs they used in class this year.
They did an outstanding job! Then the class received their certificates of completion.
Gracie was initially displeased to be assigned to the "tall" row, but she was a trooper.
Lauren and Gracie also received certificates of accomplishment from their physical education teacher, congratulating them for running 38.4 and 33.8 miles, respectively, during the 2012-2013 school year.
After certificates were distributed, they were declared official first graders! Best of all, there was cake!
