Last Day of Kindergarten, Second, and Fifth Grades

Last Wednesday was the last day of school for the 2017-2018 school year. 

Our day started out with Kindergarten graduation for Ben. All the kids processed in and sang a couple of songs. Ben looked like he was going to cry a couple of times. He had cried at school the week before because he didn't want to go to first grade.

After graduation, I signed him out of school and we took him to Tim Horton's for a donut treat! 

A couple hours later, we headed back to school for the awards assembly for grades 1-5 and for the 5th grade clap-out (where everyone lines the halls and clap while the 5th graders take one last walk through the halls.)

Jacob received a couple of awards: Bookworm award and a merit award for having all As and Bs throughout the year. We are very proud of him!

Rebecca received several awards. These included participation awards in Battle of the Books, Safety Patrol, Morning Announcements, Tator Tot Day (they helped with the little kids at recess time). She also received awards in math, and an academic excellence award for achieving all As throughout the year. Her dad and I are so proud of her!

After their ceremonies, we met up with my mom, brother and his girlfriend at Fiesta Mexicana for a late lunch! All in all it was a nice way to end the school year. I can't believe that I have a First Grader, Third Grader and a Sixth Grader (who will be going to the Middle School in the fall!). Now it is on to the adventures of Summer!
