Rachel's Last Day of Kindergarten



Yesterday was Rachel's last full day of Kindergarten. We went today to pick up her grade card and say goodbye to her teachers. I know that she is sad that the school year is over. In fact, her words to me as we walked in -- "I wish today was the first day of Kindergarten, instead of the last.". She loves her teachers so much, as do I. They have been amazing and so loving with all the kids this year. I have never had a worry the entire year about Rachel - not only that she was learning, but that she was happy. She couldn't wait to get to school each morning. I always felt welcome to go and eat lunch or just watch and see what their day was all about. I love that. I don't get a lot of opportunities to go in, so every time I did, it was special. Rachel picked out a miniature rose for each of her teachers - pink for Mrs. Johnson and yellow for Mrs. Simerly. She got big hugs and her report card was perfect. She mastered all categories this year and is reading above her grade level. Yay!!! We are super proud of her! Way to go Rachel - Job well done. I can't believe the school year is over and you are a big first grader now!!
