Last week was your last day of kindergarten. I can’t believe how fast this school year flew by. I went back and looked at the letter I wrote you when school started and at the things I hoped you would learn this year and I’m amazed at how much you learned and how much you’ve changed and grown.
We have Mae Mae and Steve to thank for you managing sight words and AR points and homework. Without them I don’t think any of us would have made it through this year. Your time at their house every afternoon is a gift I am sure you’re going to treasure for all of your days.
You’ve learned to read! Right now you love to sound out every word you see and figure it out. You also LOVE to write. Your teacher sent you home with an amazing journal collection of your writing and drawing throughout the year and its so cool to see how much you’ve learned. You learned what it means to work on something really really hard and be proud of how it turned out.
You’ve made some friends this year and learned lessons about kindness and generosity. You also learned that taking a new toy to school to trade with a friend is probably not a good idea.
You’ve kept your sense of humor and learned more jokes. You had a teacher that handled and appreciated your sass which was a great match.
Thankfully you enjoyed school lunches all year. You got to take your lunch from home as a special reward sometimes but even started to turn it down at the end of the year.
You didn’t lose your pencil pouch and we heard and saw you choose kindness over and over.
You only get one year of kindergarten and there are something about this one that I will cherish and some things I wish had been different.
Mostly, I feel like I missed it.
I hope in the years to come I don’t miss it.
We made it through the school year and have fun things planned this summer. I can’t wait to spend extra time with you and watch you learn and grow!
Love, Mama
