Well, it's been a whole school year since the
first day of Kindergarten and a lot has happened since that first day....but, here we recap the final day and ceremony of 'graduation'. The kids were complaining that they had to wear "those dresses" and Big Sister said, "well, I'll wear one, but I know the boys will NOT be happy about wearing dresses!".
On stage with a friend....this was a 'special' friend who has some sensory integration difficulties and it was a trying year for Big Sister. She has a heart of gold (sometimes --when she wants to) and she would either be on one side of the fence (he's my
best friend or he
really bothers me and I don't want to play with him ever again). It's hard to teach a 6 year old about how everyone is "different" without being offensive to other children. It was a hard year for some because this little boy 'looks' normal, but he has a hard time with self-control. Big Sister was a true sport during the ceremony and gave her friend extra room on the stage so he would 'flap his wings' and dance around.
Kindergarten graduates ready to take on the world!
A very special teacher's aide -- it was a wonderful school year with 21 children in Big Sister's class and 2 teachers!! What a blessing!
Big Sister's Kindergarten Teacher: Mrs. Peterson -- a wonderful, caring, authoritative instructor.
One of Big Sister's best friends in Kindergarten -- they either are best friends or fighting like brother and sister -- both strong-will first
borns!!
and of course, who could forget about Little Brother? He's just waiting his turn to sit in that desk and go to Kindergarten! Well, buddy, you've got a couple years to until it's your turn.....
