I don't remember Kindergarten ever having graduation ceremonies when I was growing up. In fact, I think this is a new thing at the school because Emily didn't have one when she graduated either. But today, Ethan donned a cap (a dixie bowl glued to a piece of poster board and yarn) and sat with the other morning Kindergarten class to hear a short speech (3 minutes), walk up and get his certificate and then do a dance with his classmates to "You've Got a Friend In Me" from Toy Story.
That had to be the best graduation ceremony ever. Adults should have that experience too, 20 minutes maximum - complete with a class song and dance. I love it!
Ethan started kindergarten this year with what Alicia and I believed were deficiencies in numbers, letters, reading, and speech. He has emerged as a good reader. His numbers and letters are awesome and he's showing tremendous 6 year old potential in math. Perhaps these accomplishments were part of what made today's graduation so cool.
He's an awesome kid.
