David's Kindergarten Memories 2008-2009

David officially finished his last day of Kindergarten today and is proud to announce that he is now a 1st Grader. He has already met his teacher for next year, practiced eating lunch in the cafeteria and is preparing himself for a full day of school (instead of just a half-day). To celebrate the school had their "May Pole" Dance Festival this morning. Unfortunately, I wasn't the only eager parent there and so I was unable to get any quality pictures of his performance.

As a parting gift, Mrs. Porter gave David (and the other kids in class) a "My Kindergarten Memories" book that has pictures of them through out the school year at various activities and situations. It was a very nice thing for David's teacher to do. Before the book got destroyed we scanned in each page so we could keep it long-term. Below are the pictures in a slide show.




While David doesn't appear in this picture I am pleased to announce that Wasatch Elementary School raised our country's colors each morning with the national anthem and the pledge of allegiance.

This picture was the only picture that actually turned out. Of course it is of the final pose of the dance.

I did manage to get about 30 seconds of the "Jell-O" dance. While it's not high quality it is fun to see these kids working hard to show what they have learned. David is in the very back of the group so you'll have to over-look at the great children in front of him.
