Our little grad!





Well, Kaliese's kindergarten year is over. Except for the first few, she loved every minute. The first day I dropped her off she cried and didn't want me to leave. Her teacher took a picture of all the children that day and she was smiling, so her anxiety evaporated quickly. I enjoyed taking this journey of firsts with her and watching her grow and learn. Just the amount of words she is able to read has amazed me, but she also absorbed tons more. She knows money, what each piece is called, who's on it and how much its worth. She can add, subtract, sort and compare. She can write much better and even spell a good deal without copying off another page. Her drawing and storytelling have developed into very entertaining hobbies. She has learned to share, cooperate, try new things, be a good sport, be respectful and how to be a good friend. She even learned to like new foods by trying the school lunches! They say everything you really need to know you learn in Kindergarten and that comes pretty close. However, she has such a love for learning that I hope every school year is as fun as this one has been!
