Sydney Graduated Kindergarten

May 21st - 24th. The last week of school I spent with Sydney in her classroom. Helping her teacher, Ms. Schmidt, with all sorts of things. Monday and Tuesday were spent in the classroom. Tuesday the kids got to have a lot of fun and play with shaving cream at school. Wednesday was field day. I really didn't get to see much of Syd, because all the kindergartners, (both morning and afternoon classes of both teachers came), thats 80 students (minus whoever didn't show up) got split into 8 groups of 10 kids and spent 15ish minutes at each station. I kind of helped out whenever I was needed, but also helped one of the students moms with the water table station because she didn't speak very good English.
Then Thursday morning (May 24th) was the "graduation" end of school program. The kids got to sing, and then they were given books that the teachers made of some of the school work they did throughout the year.
Sydney loved school. She got really good at reading and writing. She loves to make up her own stories. She is really good with math. And she was one of the top kids in her class. Jake and I are super proud of all that she has accomplished.
Even though Jake and I were pretty bad about helping Sydney with her homework the last month of school. Whoops.
So now our goal is to do some reading each week of summer so she can get a school prize when she goes back in the fall.

We love you baby girl. We love the girl you are becoming. You are such a kind, sweet, sensitive person. You will do amazing things.

Daddy and I hope you will continue to love to learn and grow, and become a nice person to all those around you.
