Wyatt's Kindergarten Program

Wednesday May 22, 2013 Wyatt performed a program all about the 4 seasons with the other afternoon kindergarteners. He was so proud and so excited to sing and say his part. He would come home from school and sing these songs to us and it was so much fun to hear them in sequence and watch these cute little kiddos sing their hearts out. I loved watching the kids from Wyatt's class as I volunteered all year in there with them and got to know them. They are so dang cute and I can't believe they are all ready for first grade; wait I can't believe we have a child who will be a first grader. Where did the year go?

 Wyatt's class is right in front of the red X on the floor. There were two other kindergarten classes who were a part of the program as well.

 Mrs. Farnsworth, Wyatt's principal, used her magic wand and turned each kindergartener into 1st graders. Wyatt was so excited for this event and told me Thursday morning that he didn't need to eat lunch at our house as he was now a 1st grader and would eat at school. I explained that for this last day he was still a kindergartener and needed to eat at home. I think he was a bit bummed by the news. I'm not sure how many kindergarteners the principal knew by name but she and the rest of the office staff and teachers of upper grades all know Wyatt by name. I told Brad I wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not. He is such a social person and remembers anyone he has ever met so I'm sure he went out of his way to say hello each day to these teachers and staff.

 Wyatt has had so much fun in his class this year and really loved Mrs. Breakfield. She was an amazing teacher and we are so lucky that she cares about her students and works hard to create memorable learning experiences for them. Thank you Mrs. Breakfield for such a great year in kindergarten!

For his graduation "gift" dad, mom, Conner & Lane got Wyatt graduation balloons and a package of M&Ms. He was so excited and proud of the fact that he did indeed pass kindergarten. We are excited and proud of him and the many things he has learned. At the end of kindergarten Wyatt can: count past 100, recognize and count change, read books, write words and complete sentences, draw pictures, do simple addition and subtraction and even do a little bit of multiplication. Way to go Super Wy!
