The Graduate

Cole had Kindergarten Graduation last thursday night and it was a big deal. The kids sang songs, the Principal gave a little speech, the teachers gave out awards and there was even a video of the kids. I cried.
His teacher Mrs. Froese had told me earlier in the day not to miss the Graduation because Cole was going to receive a bunch of awards. Well - my goodness - he took the cake! His awards were ...

• American Citizenship Award
• Exemplary Honor Roll
• Outstanding Art Award
• Achievement in Mathematics
• Helper Award
• Generosity Award
• Most Improved Reader Award
• Outstanding Spanish
• Neatness Award

He was really proud of himself as was his huge cheering section! He told us that he didn't have to go back to Kindergarten because he had graduated and would just go to first grade now. Sweet Boy - he is ready to learn!

My big (almost) first-grader!
