Our Favorite 'Grader'

It was a bittersweet celebration, but we celebrated nonetheless that our little girl is officially a 'grader', i.e. a first grader. She had such a wonderful Kindergarten year...we are incredibly thankful for her super teachers and her wonderful school. It has been a great experience for us all!

The children celebrated their graduation by presenting a reading of Dr. Seuss' 'Oh, The Places You'll Go!' and adorable songs. They received their diplomas in style and celebrated with cake and goodies afterwards. It was a great end to an even greater year.

Below are some clips from the graduation day. My pictures did not turn out well - they were all very dark - maybe one day I will figure out how to deal with lighting issues. Happy Summer everyone!!



The first clip in this video is MariCagle reading her part. She had the last lines of the book. She did a fabulous job! And the second clip in this video is MC receiving her diploma.



This song was my favorite, though it's really hard to choose. MariCagle is just so animated when she sings. I love it! Her love for singing just shines through.


Here's the one picture I took that turned out. Our baby!!

Oh my goodness! She is getting so big and cute. She did an excellent job reading her part from the book. I remember singing the song, "If I were a..." in VBS every year. Gotta love it!
