Class of 2020


I cant believe Aaliyah has finished the first year of her education career. She graduated from kindergarten on may 29th. I am so proud of all the many accomplishments she has made over this last year. She really has impressed me with how much she has grown. She has taken off with her reading skills, she is adding and subtracting, and she commonly tells me random facts that she has learned at school. She defiantly is not a baby anymore. She is a mature little girl.
The ceremony was pretty simple. The kids sang a few songs and then Mrs French and the principal passed out a workbook that she has worked on all year. Inside was also her graduation certificate and a dvd of the many things she has done with her class this last year. Her teacher got up and with tears in her eyes told us how much she loved working with our kids and how much she was going to miss them. I know Aaliyah will miss her. She really was a great teacher!
The whole time I was watching Aaliyah sing her songs,I kept thinking how these past six years have just flown by. And then I suddenly realized that I probably would be thinking the same thing when she graduates high school. I don't know how to make the next 12 years go by more slowly, but I am praying that we make every moment count. Aaliyah I am so proud of you! Keep up the good work!
