Rachel's Kindergarten Award Ceremony was held on May 25, 2012. Unfortunately I missed most of the performance. I caught about 20 seconds of the last song they sang. The principal turned me away at the door since I had Ian with me - lame! Luckily Andy was able to go and take video and Rachel wasn't really bothered that I wasn't there. By the time I ran Ian to a friend's house and got back, she was happy enough to show me around her classroom. Here's Rachel with her class as they sang the songs they had learned:
Here's Rachel with Miss Nemeroff:
Rachel loved Miss Nemeroff and we couldn't have asked for a better teacher for Rachel. They were a great fit. Miss Nemeroff even took Rachel to see a movie at the movie theater back in January. It's something she does to reward good behavior. Rachel thought it was pretty cool to go to the movies with her teacher!
Here we are with Rachel:
Rachel's kindergarten year was fantastic! She met all expectations and even exceeded some. She's above the reading level she needs to be at to enter 1st grade. Her reading and writing have just taken off this year! It's been so much fun to watch her learn and grow. I have loved the random little facts she'd come home and tell me by saying, "Miss Nemeroff told us today that....". And then, "Did you know that, Mom?". She was pretty floored when I knew whatever she had learned. :) Rachel has decided that she will most likely always be the smallest in her class and I keep on reassuring her that that's a good thing for a girl! The only disappoint for Rachel this year was that she didn't lose a tooth. I guess she'll have to hope it happens in 1st grade... We are so pleased with Rachel and how much she loves to learn. We're anxious to continue to watch and help her through the rest of her school career. She can't believe she has at least 16 more years to go before she graduates from college. Here's to hoping she'll continue to love it!
