And, since we are on the subject of Kelsey and her first year of school in kindergarten, here are a few of the pictures that her teacher sent me throughout the year. The other 3 kids all had the same kindergarten teacher while at Ladonia (Mrs. Flowers - who also happens to be a member of our ward, so the kids can still see her occasionally). It made me sad to think that Kelsey would be the only one who wouldn't have that opportunity. So much so that I contemplated transferring Kelsey to that school for one year and driving her every day. I didn't. And I am not 100% sorry, because Kelsey really lucked out with Mrs. Riley. Besides the fact that there we programs that we never had at Ladonia, the field trips and teacher involvement was great.
During October, they went to a pumpkin patch on a field trip.
There is her bestie Zariah again!
Thankfully, hubby was able to go with her. Once again, we learned that hubby's schedule was more flexible than mine was, and I am so grateful that our kids still had a parent to be with them and support them.
All those kute kindergartners!
Then, we move onto Thanksgiving. Parents weren't invited this time. There was no room in the hallways. They literally laid the table and place mats on the floor all down the hall to make room for all 5 classes of kindergartners.
We made an Indian vest out of a pillow case. She was sent home with a page of possible Indian art that she could decorate her dress with.
She was so happy to be able to participate in all of these fun activities.
For Valentines they got to decorate their own mailbox (shoebox) and some fun headbands.
And, finally, Kelsey was able to have a sweet student teacher named Ms. Carmichael. The kids loved her and missed her when she left. Being a kindergarten teacher takes a special kind of person, and I appreciate all those who have taught my kids.
It was a great first year of school for Kelsey in a brand new place. It was a ride for all of us, but Kelsey did great!
