First day of school above. Last day of Kindergarten below.
It was a great year but it goes so fast now. Her teacher was awesome and we are thrilled that she will have the same teacher again in first grade. Woot for Ms. Koerner. She met some great friends and really is happy with any play date. She remains very concerned when any kid cries and is often a discussion at night. She is a rule follower and desires for things to be fair... basically a little hall monitor. Life is not always fair and she is learning this slowly. An important lesson for sure. She has met sweet little friends and is learning to navigate those group relationships. It has not always been easy and there has been some sadness although I do think she is learning to be quite resilient. Another important lesson. Lessons are hard.
She still does not eat lunch although I pack it everyday. She is our slow eater and school lunch time does not allow for that mode. She is no longer frightened of the lock down drills although I am. She likes LASER and I am even told to get Henry first so she can have more time to finish craft activities. I still have to wave and blow kisses at the window which may kill me when she no longer wants those.
There was a little end of the year party with songs and performances by the kids. Great having a teacher whose previous career was in the theatre.
Elizabeth ran up to receive her Kindergarten congratulations/diploma with great enthusiasm.
And now we are in summer mode. I am eager to have her with me a bit more and enjoy our time together as a family. We have a few less camping trips this year and are focusing on together quiet time. Much needed for this family.
