Off to 1st Grade!

Today was Anna's last day of kindergarten!  Wow...  I really am at a loss for words.  I am so thankful to her amazing teachers, her amazing principal, and the amazing program!

When we attended her Open house a few weeks ago we were pulled aside by her principal, Mr. Mayfield, and her Spanish teacher, Maestra Hernandez, and they told us how amazed they were by her work.  Anna wrote the story of Peter Cotton Tail, but she didn't do it in English, she translated it to Spanish!  The were so proud of how well she has done and excited to see where she will go from here!
Today they had an assembly where she was recognized for her writing award.  After the assembly we went to her school and helped out with the "Kinder Olympics" done at the park that is next to the school.  We didn't get any photos because we were helping but the kids seemed to enjoy it.  They had various stations where they said their colors, numbers, snap words, math, science, and shapes.  Then it was off to their teachers for their metal.

Once that was over we went back to the classroom and the teachers handed out memory books.  They are really amazing books that have photos and artwork that they completed over the year to commemorate special events (field trips, snow day, etc).  It is really an amazing book!  And her stories came home this week too.

Such an exciting time!  And she wishes 1st grade started next week!  :-)  I take that as a good sign!
