Last day of school #1

Alex's last day of kindergarten was today. We are so happy we kept him at his school for kindergarten rather than sending him to the public school. He got a full day vs. half day, and got to stay at this wonderful, caring place one more year. We think it did him a world of good - his reading is fantastic, he does great with math, and he got art, cooking, geography, science and French (!) classes every week without taking time away from the kindergarten classroom learning (benefit of the full-day program). Plus he is so resistant to change and slow to come out of his shell in new situations that he really benefited not going to one school this year and then having to switch to another one for first grade (kindergarten is in its own school here).

What a fun day today - the last day of school consisted of a party just about the whole time (they got out at noon).


In addition to our craft and snack, we had a limbo contest.


Hot potato game.


And MANY rounds of freeze dance.


It was a really good class, and with only 16 children it was a perfect size.


Guess he's a first-grader now!
