Last Day of Kindergarten May 2014

 

Last Day of School!!!!! I can't believe that I officially have a first grader today.  Its amazing how fast the year has gone and how much Jadeyn has grown in this year.  Mrs Licardi was an amazing teacher especially for him.  She kept order very well, but she never raised her voice or hurt his self confidence.  She was great!.  He really liked Mrs Ryan as well. I dropped him off at school and then I returned at 10:30 for the kid's program.  So cute.  They all lined up outside the door and marched in together beaming to see all the parents there. They sang "The More We Get Together The More We Have Fun" and wiggled  the whole time.
 
Then Mrs L played a slide show of each of the kids holding a chalk board sign of what they want to be when they grow up.  When each kid's picture came up, they came to the front of the room, stood on a chair and said what they wanted to be.  So cute, the took the pictures two weeks ago and in that amount of time, quite a few of them had changed their minds!  There were a lot of fire fighters, cops, moms, dad, pet shop owners, rock stars.  When Jadeyn stood up and said he wanted to be an oceanographer, all the parents were quite impressed!  I was proud of him!  They gave each kid their diploma and a little gift bag of treats.  We watched another cute slideshow of class pictures throughout the year and then ate a delicious cake that Jen had made. 

 All the kids piled out to the park and played  before joining the rest of the school in the big playground and field for the school picnic.  Wow, that was a lot of kids.  They had fun.  It was supposed to be stormy, but it held off until later in the afternoon thank goodness.  After the school play, we went to the Castle Park for more play!
