Kindergarten Graduation

Kindergarten has officially ended! It's so bittersweet...I cannot believe how quickly this year passed by...all the things I was worried about at the beginning of the year - how Henry would do as the little fish in the big pond, a new school, new rules, eating lunch in the cafeteria, etc., etc. And now, on the other side of it, I am so proud of him and how well he adjusted to elementary school and adapted to all the new challenges and how he thrived!
His class had a very nice ceremony - they didn't go overboard making a huge deal about it, but did mark the occasion with a cute, symbolic walk from one side of the classroom (representing kindergarten) to the other side (representing 1st grade). One of the moms made them all the cutest paper graduation caps which delighted Henry since he had just seen Geoff's graduation hat and was so pleased that he got one of his own.

 After the classroom ceremony all three kindergarten classes met out on the playground for some ice cream sundaes and playtime. What a wonderful way to end the school year - and now we have a first grader!

Nora made herself right at home in the classroom and was clearly unimpressed that she was not part of the festivities.
