Kindergarten Celebration

We had Carter's Kindergarten celebration this week.  It was beautiful and so bittersweet.  Mrs. Snyder, Carter's teacher, is just an amazing educator and loves her kiddos so much.  We can only hope Davis is lucky enough to have her, too!  The kids created a special book and video to share with us.  Mrs. Snyder created a video gift of the students' progress throughout the year, set to music.  Let's just say I should have brought a box of Kleenex.  I cannot believe our Carter is getting so big.  Where does the time go?  We are SO proud of him and all that he has accomplished this year.  The choice to keep him in Kindergarten was one of the best things we've ever done.  He has gained so much by being surrounded by his age peers and learning some valuable social skills. Academically, he continues to blow us away...he is reading at a level 26. (The minimum standard for Kindergartners, by the end of the year is level 3 and the test only goes to level 18, so Mrs. Snyder had to modify it a bit for Carter.)  Great job, buddy!
Here is a link to the Kindergarten video  It is kind of long, but very cute.

Getting a round of applause from all of the proud parents. 

 Grumpy and happy faces sharing the special book he made.

 Mom & Dad love you so much!!!!

 Mrs. Drake, the class Para, is so awesome!

 The wonderful Mrs. Snyder!

Davis got to hang out with the big kids & eat cupcakes!
