Kindergarten, Here She Comes!

On June 18th, Abby had her official Pre-K graduation ceremony. We have been really happy with her teachers and her friends at Discovery Isle.  It is still hard to believe that she is going to kindergarten but on the other hand we are all ready for elementary school.  It feels like she has been in preschool forever!

Abby's class had been practicing for their ceremony for quite a while and she was very excited to perform the songs and count to 10 in many different languages.  I had no idea how many she knew including Tagalog, Dutch, Russian, Chinese and a few others.  It is a very multicultural class and Abby is very aware of her friends different cultures and traditions.  Her teachers suggested that some kids could wear their cultural outfits for celebrations so Abby felt compelled to wear and Aloha dress because she is "Hawaiian".

Each kid had an opportunity to share what they learned in preschool and afterwards Abby said, "That was so embarrassing!"

A very proud little bro.

Abby has learned so much this year.  It has been so fun to see her start to read and write and make some great friends that she will have great memories of for years to come!  She really loves art and the many crafts they have done through out the year.  We are so thankful for the well rounded preschool experience that she has had and that she loves school.

The celebration was right in the middle of the day on a Wednesday ( during Matt's last week of school!).   We both had to do some major juggling but made it work to see our big girl graduate.  I' sure this is the first of many events that we will need to do that for.
