Kindergarten Graduation

Scott had his kindergarten end of the year assembly and graduation today.  Still can't believe I have a 1st grader.  He has grown up so much this year.  Highlights...

Friends!  Scott has made some great friends.  His favorite part of school is playing with his friends.  He is such a good friend to others.  He is always greeted at school by his friends and has a smile on his face when he is with his friends.  This was probably the best part to see as a parent.  So grateful!!

Fieldtrips to Smith Family Farm which I got to go on, Pumpkin Patch and Discovery Musuem with Grandma.

The best teachers.  Scott's teachers were so loving and kind.  I always felt their #1 concern was that the kids were kind and felt special.  Mrs. Bullington and Quintana were awesome!

Minimal homework.  Scott would much rather be playing than doing homework, so we are grateful that kindergarten does't have too much homework and I am still not sure what we are going to do next year.  I am hoping that maturity will help Scott actually want to do homework instead of just wanting to do the minimum.  We shall see.

He has changed so much this year in being confident, independent and social.  We are so proud of our little man.  At the school assembly he was thrilled to get the Krey Dog Tag for being the "leader of the pack".  It is given to someone in the class who is a good friend and leads the class.   In his kindergarten class, each kid was given a cute award associated with candy, the 3 musketeers, laughy taffy, smarties, etc.  Scott got rolos for being a role model to his class.  It was a very cute graduation idea and fun to learn the different kids personalities.

We are so proud of Scott and look forward to 1st grade.  I am so happy that he enjoys school.  This year has been so easy and wonderful.  I know that each year and each child's experience is going to be so unique and different.  Here's to more wonderful years!
