Kindergarten Zoo

At school today, Makena had her Kindergarten zoo and a graduation program. She had to go dressed up as 2 animals morphed together. She went as a LadybugCat! She had a button on them, and when someone came up to her and pushed her button, she had to give them her little report. She said, "I am a Ladybug. I am a Cat. A cat is a mammal. A ladybug is an insect. A cat has fur." She did it all memorized!!
Then they did a little program with some songs they have learned throughout the year. After their little program, Mrs. Thayer presented them with their Dolphin Award and a Graduation picture. It was fun to go see her and see her progress she has made this year. She has LOVED Mrs. Thayer as her teacher and is sad to leave her and Mrs. Paige behind. But is happy she will get to see them during the day when she is in 1st grade. She has 4 more days of Kindergarten left! This year has gone by really fast, she has improved so much and has learned so much. She got her PALS scores and at the beginning of the school year she got 34 points and at the end of the school year she got 95 points plus 34 bonus points (there are 10 areas that she has to pass off). And she is reading at a 1st grade level. She is a great student.
