Kindergarten graduation was on Thursday 6/4. They did a really nice ceremony for them and we had a nice reception and slideshow complete with baby pictures in the classroom after. Now school is out for the summer and we're anxious already about First Grade (in a very excited sort of way!)
So, in a flash, we've gone from Kindergarten Round Up last spring ~ to starting school last fall ~ and now, it's already graduation week!
We've gained a lot of wisdom:
- She's gone from reading at a Pre-K/early Kindergarten level to a 2nd grade level.
- Her writing went from learning to make the letters properly to now writing about friends not letting her smell their pencil grippers and other important things (HA!!)
- We know all about "using your singing voice" and how much she dislikes music class for this reason
- There IS a difference between the Texas & US flags. Don't laugh, she missed this at the beginning of the year!
- And we've also learned that math is now taught usingequations, not algorithms.
But the real learning came from a few unconventional tidbits of information:
- It is not just the boys who use potty talk. Some girls and even some teachers *gasp* are prone, too.
- Eating blue will turn your poop green. Is this true??
- If someone passes gas in class, it can make the room smell like french fries.
- Not letting someone smell your pencil gripper is HUGE!
- Scented pencil grippers can "get all smelled up"
- Field Day spirit sticks are HARD to come by
- A mouse can make an adult "scream like a little girl"
- And last, but certainly not least, that ....
- The Eyes of Texas Are Upon You.
It's been an incredible year! So ready for summer and 1st grade, but this has been one great time!!
