Next, First Grade

Today was M's last day as a kindergartener and she/we could not be happier/prouder.  She was an excellent student.  She learned to read which is a new love for her, learned basic math skills--addition and subtraction,  learned how to tell time, days of the week, months, learned about bears, shadows, plants, the solar system, weather pattens, clouds, was introduced to basic Spanish and Italian, sang new songs, expanded her creativity in art class, played dodge ball, made new friends, took neat field trips.  While she was hard at work she also found a new sense of freedom and confidence.   Busy year, I'd say!  Mom's a teeny bit sad:-(
