Marching on...

To first grade?  Sniff.

Ava had some fun events to mark the last few weeks of kindergarten.  Her last day was June 6th.

In May, we were invited to their class "Spring Fling", which was all over adorable.  The kids sang songs and told jokes and poems.  I'm not sure there was a dry eye when they ended with singing "What a Wonderful World".  Afterwards, Mrs. Lloyd showed a video montage of pictures she had taken throughout the year and even burned copies for each family to take home. 



A few weeks later, I snuck out of work for a few hours and watched her at Track & Field Day.  It was always my favorite day as a kid :-)  It was fun to see her participate in all the events and excitedly count up her "golds".  For each event, they had 3 kids participate at a time in no particular order, so everyone was always assured a gold, silver, or bronze standing in each event.  Low pressure and lots of fun.

Ava brought home a lot of stuff over the last few days, my favorite being a scrapbook she made.  It's a great overview of the year with pictures from Mrs. Lloyd's camera.   And we got another great report card for the last trimester.

 It also marked the end of her time reading with the friends she made in the special needs classroom.  She made cards for all of them and they made one big Thank You card for her.  I'm thrilled she had that experience this year.

Here's my big girl on the last day of school, sporting her new end of kindergarten haircut!
