Maddie graduates from Kindergarten!

When we started this school year, I couldn't believe Maddie was actually going to Kindergarten.  Now that the year has flown by (as it always does), I can't believe we have a FIRST grader!  She's younger than everyone in her class but she's growing in so many ways - academically, socially and all with a confident smile on her face.  I'm so proud of how hard this little girl works and how determined she is.  I can't wait to see what next year brings!

IHM held a Kindergarten graduation (which I helped put together as a room parent) and everyone was so pleased with how it all turned out!  I really loved this class of Kindergarteners.  They were all so sweet and just a great, all around group of kids.

Here's Maddie on the first day of Kindergarten (with her busted lip and all!):

And here are some pictures from the last day of Kindergarten and graduation!

Jacob and Maddie and their sweet friends, Kyra (2nd grade) and Greg (also Kindergarten)

Maddie ADORED her Kindergarten teacher Ms. O'Brien!

Their were portrait profile pictures displayed of all the Kindergarteners.  I'm not so sure Maddie's looks like her but it's a nice souvenir anyway. :)

Of course, Kindergarten Graduation isn't complete without some adorable songs:






Congratulations Maddie! We are SO PROUD OF YOU!
