Kindergarten Finale

Hadley only has 3 weeks left of school. It has been a great place for her to expand her academic, social, and spiritual skills. The last month of school is packed with trips, parties, programs, and performances, so it will fly by. And aren't they so cute in their uniforms?

This week has been busy already with kindergarten doing the readings and leading parts of their weekly mass. Here's Hadley reading from the Acts of the Apostles. She practiced for a week to get all the big words just right, and she did so well! (I wasn't sure if the microphone and crowd would throw her off, but it totally didn't.)

Later the same day, they had their end-of-year musical performance. Along with catchy "hello" and "goodbye" songs, the kindergarten performed "How the Camel Got His Hump", where each child had an instrument and a cue on which to play it. It was pretty lengthy, but here's a snippet. H is on the front, second from left, and plays the tambourine every time the story says the word "man." Kudos to their music teacher for keeping their interest and silence for the duration of this performance!

The big day deserved to be celebrated with some fro-yo.

Another benefit to their central location: for PE this month, they're actually walking to the aquatic center 2 blocks away for swimming lessons! What a great idea, leading into summer! H is in the pink cover up because she decided she didn't need pants for the walk.
