Continuing the tradition of the WoodCreek end-of-school-year festivities, I was excited to join Kaitlynn for her 1st grade Celebration of Learning in early June.
The kids invited us into the classroom to view some special projects they had made, and then they put on a performance with some songs for us. I was greeted with huge smiles and hugs from my sweet girl!
Blurry photo, but we were so happy to be spending the afternoon together.
One of the projects that Kaitlynn was happy to share with me was her self-portrait. She drew herself and listed some of her best characteristics, including fun, helpful, and happy. I tend to agree! :-)
Kaitlynn's silly side came out when she shared her self-portrait.
When it was time for the class performance, Kaitlynn stood front and center. The class performed a song or two about their wonderful times together, and then each student read their favorite 1st grade memory for the class.
The class is ready for their presentation for the parents.
Chanting about how they are too cool for school.

Take a look at Kaitlynn's favorite memory from 1st grade:
In case you couldn't understand her... Kaitlynn's favorite memory of 1st grade was Twin Day during Red Ribbon Week when she wore matching outfits with her American Girl doll. Her doll's name is Anna -- not "Let it Go" Anna -- just Anna! :-)

Before we left for the afternoon, I had to make sure to get a picture of Kaitlynn with her beloved teacher, Mrs. Hebert. Kaitlynn had the BEST year of 1st grade thanks in part to this amazing teacher! Not only were we incredibly blessed to be in Mrs. Hebert's class this year, but Kaitlynn is also lucky enough to continue in Mrs. Hebert's classroom next year for 2nd grade due to the "looping" system at the school. We are so thankful to benefit from her love and talents!

Thank goodness, we didn't have to say "Goodbye" to Kaitlynn's wonderful teachers and classmates, because most would be returning in a few months to start their 2nd grade year together. What an amazing group and awesome 1st grade year!
