Our K5 Graduate

Can you believe it? Kindergarten is over... it just seems like yesterday that Makenna was getting ready for her first day of school. She has had a wonderful year with 2 wonderful teachers... Mrs. Godfrey
Mrs. Beach

These faces looks awfully mischievous!

Precious, precious...

I can't believe K5 is over! I asked Makenna to name some things she's learned this year, and here is her list...

• Sounding out words while I read
• If I don't know how to read a word, I start with the first letter and read it slowly.
• Patterns
• Counting to 200
• Claude Monet was a famous painter, and I learned how to paint just like him.
• Parts of a plant - stem, leaves, seeds, flowers
• Character counts - friendliness, sharing & caring, helping a friend if they have trouble with something, responsibility
• Counting tens and ones using ladybugs
• How to spell lots of words

I thought this was a cute list. I love the Monet comment. I think I will e-mail her art teacher. Here is my list of what she has learned in K5...

• Reading anything and everything
• Confidence & enthusiasm
• Responsibility
• Everyone's family isn't like ours.
• Amazing amounts of math, including facts

There is much more... I'm SO thankful that Makenna was blessed with her teachers. Mrs. Beach is from the Phillipines, and I knew Makenna was in the right class when she said, "Wow! Makenna, you and I have the same color of hair and skin!" That just started our year in a positive way, and it just got better and better!

Makenna is ready for 1st grade... this was her latest comment...

Mak - Mom, I know you're not ready for me to be a first grader.

Me - Why do you say that?

Mak - Because it means you'll be OLD!!!

I guess the truth hurts! :)
