Kindergarten Graduation

At Dutch Neck school there is a huge playground, and the kids actually get to use it alot during the day, which makes me happy. There is a designated place for the kindergarteners to play. This big yellow slide is off-limits for many reasons, one being because it is so tall for the little people. So every spring, the kindergarten teachers hold the most adorable graduation ceremony I have ever seen!! All of the kindergarten students line up and take a turn "sliding into first grade". At the end of the slide their teacher uses her magic wand to instantly turn them into a first grader. This is all Jaron talked about for 2 weeks, and I think he thought Mrs. McGuinness was actually using magic powers to transform him! So precious! Everyone we see now he has to tell them he is a first grader. Adorable!!!!

There he is anxiously waiting for the magic to happen.......

Almost there!!!!!!!!!!!




Here he goes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jaron, the FIRST grader!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Jaron and Mrs. McGuinness....the best teacher in the whole world.
