Kindergarten Graduation

Alex's last day of school was Friday, June 3rd. His class had a little graduation ceremony, where his teacher highlighted each student's accomplishments. The really fun part of the graduation was that she created individual awards for each student, and Alex's was the "Mini Sportscaster Award." She talked about how Alex came in nearly every day with a sports update...the score from the Stars game, how the Rangers were playing, news on the basketball games. Luckily, his teacher is also a pretty big sports fan, so she really enjoyed his daily sports updates. Here's a few pictures from his last day of kindergarten (sniff, sniff!!)Here is Alex and Mrs. Stapleton. I have so much love and respect for all kindergarten teachers, especially now after having one of my babies go through kindergarten. Mrs. Stapleton was fantastic! I don't think we could have hoped for a more perfect match for Alex. We had actually requested a different teacher for Alex at the beginning of the school year, but Alex was placed in Mrs. Stapleton's class instead. It's funny how things work out though. When I walked into Mrs. Stapleton's room, and saw all the baseball decorations in her room, I knew they would be two peas in a pod! And they were! Alex grew and learned so much! I'm so grateful to Mrs. Stapleton and all her hard work this past year. Now, we've got our eyes forward to 1st grade!
