Kindergarten … come and gone

An entire school year has flashed by us and Elayna is officially DONE with Kindergarten.

E has grown so much this year … both physically and mentally.  We frequently glance at her and think how TALL she suddenly is.  Her pants are far to short.  Her hair is long.  Her face has narrowed and there’s not sweet baby belly! 

But E has flourished in the classroom too.  At the start of kindergarten she struggled to know all of her letters.  She is now reading simple books (think “See Spot Run”), loves making up rhymes, and is a kindergarten math-wiz.

And Elayna learned SCIENCE!!  She came home one day eager to show us a new trick with milk, soap, and food coloring.  So began our year-long fascination with science experiments and discovering new fun things!

Elayna is on the left-hand side.  She had a speaking part:  “Word quickly spread for miles around and people flocked to hear the sound.” which she took VERY seriously.  We practiced every day – along with the numerous songs…

Overall, Kindergarten was a great year for us.  After the first few months, E settled into a happy routine with her bus and her friends.  She’s learning more about getting along with others and had a great teacher!  I’m very proud of her and excited for her summer break at the school summer camp.
