Today was a very big day for
Caitlyn...she had her
pre-school graduation! She was very excited and was trying to show us how she had been practicing the day before at school.
Caitlyn personally invited everyone to her "
gradulation" as she called it, even our new neighbors. Bear was even able to get off work for a little bit, so that made her day! When we came into the classroom, all the kids were sitting down on their chairs very quietly. As
Caitlyn told us ahead of time, they weren't supposed to get up and say hi to everyone, but they could wave from their chair, so
Caitlyn waved like crazy when she saw us.
Her teacher Ms.
Pickerell talked a little bit about what the kids have accomplished throughout the year and then it was time for them to show us what they learned. They stood up and and said the Pledge of
Allegiance, sang a song about the colors of the flag, and then sang the 5 songs they learned while making their maps of the world.
Caitlyn's favorite one is about the countries of South America...she can show you where all the countries are and tell you their names! It was just too cute to hear all the kids sing the songs with their squeaky little voices. My eyes were a little teary, but I was fine until her teacher turned around while she was talking about all the kids and saw me with teary eyes, and she said she couldn't look over at me because she was going to cry too...I swear that leaky eye syndrome is contagious! Then it was time to call up each student to get their graduation certificate and progress report.
Caitlyn did a great job walking up to get her certificate and remembered to shake
everyone's hand that she was supposed to. Our neighbors came to watch her "
gradulation" and even made a cap for
Caitlyn out of
construction paper with a ribbon as the tassel that said "star student"...too cute!
Caitlyn wanted to get a picture of her with her teacher and Ms. Mary, the teacher's aide. I know that
Caitlyn will miss her teacher, but she is very excited to start kindergarten in Kansas.
It's hard to believe that
Caitlyn is already done with
pre-school, but she learned a lot and is eager to start reading. We all love you
Caitlyn and are so proud of how well you have done this year!!!
