Last Day of Kindergarten

Today was a very busy and a sad day.  Today was the last day of Kindergarten.  Mrs. Wood had a brunch and a special program to which all of the parents were invited to come.  Nicole and I had offered to take care of the food for her, so Nicole bought muffins, fruit, yogurt, donuts, and juice.  It turned out to be a really good spread. 

She started the program having the kids sing some songs. 

And then she talked about some of the people who have been a big part of her Kindergarten class this year--Mrs. Stoneking, Nicole, and Miss Wells.  She also mentioned me, but I was behind the camera.

After that she recognized the top ten kids in the class for sight words.  Andrew was the 3rd in the class in knowing sight words.

 Then each of the kids received a special medal for what they contributed to the class.  Miss Wood said that Andrew was always helping the other kids to sound out words, so he received the "Spelling Bee" award.  He also received his school diploma today.

After all of the kids received their award, we headed to the library for our brunch.  And while we ate we watched a DVD that Miss Wood made of all of the activities the class did during the school year.  After that the kids and their parents started leaving.  We stuck aroung until everyone was gone.  Then Andrew gave Mrs. Wood her present and we said goodbye. 

Mrs. Wood, thank you for an awesome Kindergarten experience that none of us will ever forget!
