Kenna's Kingergarten Graduation and Year in Review

So this is a little late coming but I wanted to share pics from Kennedy's special day at Kindergarten Graduation. She asked me for weeks if it was tomorrow! She was so excited to show me the things she and her class had been working on. She was a little shy up on the stage which surprised me a little but she did an amazing job. They sang a bunch of songs about letters and numbers, a cute rapping song called "The Rules of the Classroom" it was hilarious, and they ended with "Your a Grand Ole Flag". Kennedy really loves school and does well at everything. Mrs. Comte always told me how much she enjoyed having her in her class and hoped we wouldn't move before the end of the year. She said Kennedy is definately a leader and loves her enthusiasm. Things Kennedy loved about Kindergarten: Mrs. Comte, she listened to her better than me; Recess, what kid doesn't; rotations, lots of art; the Kindy 500, she is so into anything American; and of course her friends. She got particularly close with a cute little girl named Kamri. It was really sad to separate them. Kamri was Kenna's first bff. I loved seeing Kennedy succeed. She can read and write like it is no big deal, but it is huge. She was so good at homework, definatley got that from Josh, and would do anything to please Mrs. Comte. She got to have a picture displayed in the school of a drawing she did for her principal when he was sick she that that was pretty cool. She also won a helmet for another drawing, which we forgot to pick up, but exciting nonetheless. And everyone in the office knew her because of her pretty red hair. She was the only Red headed girl all morning and afternoon kindergarten classes. We are so proud of her and hope that she contiues to love school. I had a lot of fun helping out when I could. I was able to help with Thanksgiving, Valentines and Teacher appreciation. We had a great experience in Kindergarten. The slide show is kind of backwards and the captions are not showing up but now everyone who was not able to be there can see what a great time Kennedy had in Kindergarten.

Ashlee, I saw your comment on Beech Tree this morning and thought I'd sneek over here. This blog about Kenna's Kindergarten made me tear up. We hope to be renting a house in my grandma's neighborhood for the next 6 months which means Sierra will be going to kindergarten at the same school I did. I heard it is a real tear jerker to drop your oldest off at kindergarten for the first time and I'm already starting to cry! I hope to put some post on my blog today, have you seen it? www.BennettBlogOut.blogspot.com
