I feel like this is going to be the most anti-climatic post in history, but since I started the countdown the achiever in my HAS to finish or I will stress for no reason.
(I may need help).
Day 6
That was Pancakes at the Playground.
Fun was had by all.
Day 5
He got his first official chapter book and was so exited! He even helped me read a couple of pages. It still amazes me that he can read - isn't that WHY he is going to Kindergarten?! :)
He also got his lunchbox that he picked out ages ago and was still THRILLED about it!
Day 4
This was his date night with Mom and Dad and Meet the Teacher!
We got caught in a summer down pour on our way into the school - so it was a good thing that Radley had his shark shoes on! :)
We were excited to go see which class he would officially be in but when we scanned the list, all of the kids enrolled in the dual language program were listed together! The suspense is killing us to see if he will be in class with any of his WDS friends!
We made our way to his classrooms to meet his two teachers for the year.
First up, Mrs. Kammerer - she is the English teacher for the kids in the DL program. She has 2 kiddos of her own, has been teaching for 13 years and has been in the DL program for 6. We are excited to have her!
Our sweet kindergartner!
And look who we ran into! Radley is so excited that he will be in the same class and program with these four! Crazy to think that they will be speaking Spanish at this time next year.
(Well, at least some words in spanish! ;))
Then we got to meet Señora. Weberich (Ve - beh - reesh), his Spanish teacher!
Then we headed out to dinner at Newk's with the whole crew. We really had the best time with these families just talking about the year, crying happy tears, and watching our kiddos have fun.
We finished the night with some froyo at Spoons -
one giant bowl and 3 spoons to share!
Day 3
When we took Rad on his school supply shopping trip he really wanted this Superman thermos.
"Mom - I can use it when we eat soup."
He never eats soup.
I posted this pic to prove that the King Kiddos don't always look at the camera and smile.
:)
Unless of course they are in the spotlight.
Day 2
A few moms wanted to make the end of the year/era of our kids' at the WDS a big celebration, so on Saturday we had a Friendship Class Splash Bash for all the kiddos at the WDS!
We all had fun splishing...
and splashing...
and jumping...
and celebrating...
Launa, Garrett, Connor, Davis, Jackson, Caroline, Radley, Isabelle, Kayla, Carlos, Jaden and Cade
As we were taking the picture I told the kids to yell "Kindergarten ROCKS" on the count of three and when they did all the Moms completely lost it.
Such an unexpected surge of emotion - it was a good thing we had on our best Jackie Os to hide the tears!
But you know what? There wasn't one single tear from these kids (well except the ones that didn't want to stop swimming). They were all smiles - filled with excitement and wonder and joy!
Day 1
Kindergarten really is going to ROCK!
Lovely pictures! Happy to see your child growing up so well mannered. When my child got enrolled in a Phoenix kindergarten he was a keen learner and was learning how to read and write very fast. Was amazed and equally happy to see that!
ReplyDeleteUsing such activities can help small kids learn effectively. I am also going to homeschool my son and will definitely use your tips. I am preparing a month’s lesson plan for him and just found some amazing word exercises at http://www.kidsfront.com/english/1.jumbled_words.html. I suggest you too to take a look at their word exercises.
