Last Day of Kindergarten

Today was Julia's last day of kindergarten.  We can't believe that her first year of school is already over.  She's officially a first grader now. We looked at the pictures of both of them from the first day of school, and it was amazing to see how much each of the kids have grown. They look a lot more like little kids nine months ago.

Julia had a great first year.  She really liked her class, school, and teacher Mrs. Miller (picture below). Obviously, she learned a lot but also grew more independent than before.  Next year she begins full day class, so it will be interesting to see what she thinks about that.  It will be a big change for all of us having her out of the house until 3:45 each day.

The last day of school consisted of all the kindergarten classes performing some songs, an ice cream party, and then a pool party with some of her classmates.  After school the kids were playing around in the front of the school, picking wildflowers. Jonathan picked two flowers.  He gave one to his sister and then decided to sprint 50 yards over to Mrs. Miller who was talking to a couple of other teachers.  He ran right up to her and handed her a flower.  The teachers thought it was so cute and hilarious.


She has about two and half months until school starts, so we have only a little time to fit in everything this summer!
