Aloha Kindergarten Celebration

A few weeks ago on June 17th Rebecah and the Kindergarten class celebrated "Aloha Kindergarten".  Since Aloha can mean "hello" and "goodbye" the Kindergartners were saying goodbye to Kindergarten as they look forward to being in 1st grade.  The kids met in the school gym and sang 5-6 songs that they had been practicing and then we went back to the individual classrooms for cake and lemonade. 

Joseph was working, but the babies and I were able to attend.  We were glad we could help celebrate with Rebecah.  After the cake and lemonade there were a few activities outside and then all of the kids went home.  The rest of the school had a full day.

This is Rebecah's class.  She is wearing a purple shirt and she
 is shrugging her shoulders a little because she saw me.  It was hard to get good pictures in the gym.

One of the boards in the classroom was for losing teeth.
 Rebecah had her name up there 6 times for each tooth she lost this year.

a few times outside of school for play dates.

.Rebecah is excited to start 1st grade in September.  She had a great year in Kindergarten.  I think what she learned socially far out weighed what she learned academically.  It is good to know she is kind to everyone at school.
