kindergarten graduation





drakes kindergarten graduation was sooo cute. all three classes were on the stage and performed a few songs. afterward they each got their little diploma type thing. when that was done we went to their classes and had juice and cookies. drakes teacher was amazing. she was 7 months pregnant at the begining of the year, her husband was due to come home from iraq soon, and she still found time to make each child their own little yearbook. she put projects, their writing, pictures and other fun things in their books. it took everything in me not to cry during the performances and when i saw his book.


drake came a long way this year. he went from the bottom reading group up to the second! i am so proud of him. and he loves to read. he got up the other morning, grabbed a book and started reading. another thing he did this year that made me very proud was that at the begining of the year he was hanging out with a few kids that weren't the best influences on him. he figured out that he would get in trouble when he was with them, so on his own he made new friends. friends that don't do things to get him in trouble and that do good things and make good decisions. it makes me smile when i think about that!
