Graduation

Here is a picture of the graduate.

My camera didn't work when he was walking down the aisle so I had to take this one after the graduation ceremony.

Garrett did really well up on stage. He didn't look nervous or worried. He seemed to enjoy himself, even when he had to keep getting up to receive awards. He received the most awards of any of the students (yes, I am bragging but he has worked hard all year and he deserved them). He received the Outstanding Citizenship award, Outstanding Reading award (kids needed to be at a level 3 for reading and he was at a level 6), and the Spelling and sight words award (he got 100% on spelling and reading his sight words all year long). We were very proud of him all that he accomplished.

Here he is receiving his spelling and sight word award.

Twelve of the fifteen kids had a letter to spell out kindergarten and then had a little poem that went with it. Garrett had the last "r" and his little poem went as follows: R is for remembering all that we have learned. He did a great job and said it loud and clear. Below is a picture of him saying his poem.

The kids sang and presented their parents with a flower for mom and a card for dad.

Then the kids received their little diplomas and we went to the school gym to have cake and punch.
