The last day of kindergarten coincided with getting ready to travel to the Kansas City area to participate in our cousin Debbie's wedding. We needed to be in Kansas City by late afternoon/early evening, so in order to get there earlier enough, we needed to leave right after lunch time. In past years, school has always let out at lunchtime on the last day of school, but of course would not be like that...dismissal was at the normal 3:30 time. So, although I felt bad about it, we needed to take Allison out of school early.
Before she left, however, we made sure that she got to participate in 'marking' her new classroom for 'future generations'. Each of the 15 students of the inaugural kindergarten class in the new classroom got to put their handprints in paint on the wall by the water fountain. There are times that I think the handprints can be overdone and become tacky, but I think this was done sparingly enough and appropriate I think it'll be okay :).
This was not only our last day of kindergarten, but also our last day with Mrs. Harries as our teacher. Because she teaches preschool too, children spend three years with her. It will be a different environment for sure next year when we move to first grade. Image by Cool Text: Free Graphics Generator - Edit Image
