Kyle Graduates PreK

My baby graduated PreK! All the preschool kids performed in the Spring program and then the PreK students walked the stage. Look at that precious face!

Daddy was at work so we took video and pictures for him. Miss Lindsay came to help us celebrate!

Next stop -- Kindergarten!!

Kinder Graduation

The Kindergarten Class at Mockingbird Elementary

Ms. Carlton and Ms. Mitchell presented Karis her diploma (Karis did not like getting on stage!)

Ms. Carlton had a sweet class of kids. It was fun getting to know them. 

Karis has learned and grown up so much this past year!

 

 She sure is going to miss Ms. Carlton over the summer. 

A family picture with the graduate and her cranky siblings who did not enjoy sitting through the hour long ceremony. 

Karis became friends with Makena and Talia the first week of school. It's been fun getting to know their families throughout the year. Karis made friends with all the other girls in her class as well as she was very well-liked. In their Mother's Day book, the kids had to complete the sentence "I love my mom more than ________" Her friend Vedika said "Karis"! She calls Karis her bestie.  

All the kids received a Classroom Award. Karis' was "Most Contagious Laugh"

And now we have a 1st grader! 

Our PreK Graduate

Our baby girl graduated PreK! She had a great year. I was a little nervous in the beginning of the year when I found out there were only four girls in her class, but she really enjoyed all of her classmates.

Makena overcame her "tummy aches" during show and tell (with everyone looking at her), she had her first crush on a boy, and she definitely came out of her shell as a silly, carefree, and caring little girl. She is doing great with memorizing her sight words. She is just starting to read and we'll be working with her this summer to move her further along. 

She will definitely miss her friends over the summer, but she is excited for Kindergarten. She was disappointed when she found out she wasn't going to Kindergarten next week! 

The pledge to the Bible, American flag and Christian flag. 

Karis held the Christian flag during her preK ceremony and Makena got to hold it for hers. 

They sang fun songs to show us some of the things they learned -- the planet song, the water cycle, months of the year and days of the week. 

Before the graduates received their diplomas, each child was asked what was their favorite part of preK and what they want to be when they grow up. 

Makena's favorite part was playing in The Ark and when she grows up, she wants to be a mommy. 

Hugs from one of her sweet teachers

Proud Daddy and Mommy

Sweet friends

Thanks to Ms. Kim and Ms. Laurie for a great year!
