Celebrating Kindergarten

The kids performed a few songs at their end of the year classroom celebration. As they were singing a few of their songs, I kept having flashbacks to three little kiddos in diapers, when we use to sing some of those same song each evening as entertainment. At that moment, I just wanted to freeze time. I wanted to watch them sing silly songs forever. They have had an amazing year in Kindergarten, and I can only hope that the next 12 years are as smooth.

Mrs. Fisher gave each student a reading award and then two awards, unique to them, as well as she said something special about each of them. It was very sweet.Jax received the math skills awards. Mrs. Fisher said, he was very math minded and her very top student in math. He also received the "Best Buddy" award because everyone wants to be Jax's friend. He is a popular little guy. She described him as a "ray of sunshine" and even shared how Jax has his own Jedi Training on the play ground and kids from all classes, line up to take training from him. Delaney received the "top singer & dancer" award. Not only is she a top performer during classroom performances, but she has also entertained the class with her own dancing and singing. She also received, the "terrific teacher award" because Delaney's job this year was to re-teach or repeat instructions for other students, after she was finished with her work. Delaney always knows what's going on! As you can see, Delaney was just over joyed to be picking up awards.

Baylor received the "favorite friend" award because he is so caring and a good friend to all. He also received the "best character" award for always showing good character.

Mrs. Fisher also awarded five girls and five boys a number one, super star award. She based this on who stood out for going above and beyond. Both Delaney and Baylor picked up one of these awards. This was a little tough for Jax and mom, to see but he was a trooper. (I wasn't quite prepared).

Jax, Delaney, & Baylor, we are so very proud of all that you have accomplished and we know that this is only the beginning. You each are so special and unique and are destined to excel in everything you put heart into. Delaney and Baylor, we are very proud of your accomplishments and character at school. Jax, if there was a number one super star award at the Ward house, you would win it hands down. (Even your brother and sister would agree with us on this one). You are the most easy going, kind hearted, happy kid. You rarely complain and are always the first to give in and let someone else have "their way" or what they want. You share, you are kind and one of the most polite kids I know. You always thank us for everything. You are an all around super star in our house.
