Rerun’s Last Day of Kindergarten!
I don’t think he actually believed that this day would come, but it did!
Yesterday was Rerun’s last day of kindergarten! I took Thumper to the end-of-the-school-year party (it was in the middle of naptime, so he actually fell asleep during the party) to watch Mrs. M work her “magic wand” and turn each kindergartener into a first grader!
The hardest part for Rerun was saying goodbye to Mrs. G and Mrs. L. Mrs. G is the para who has been working with him the most this year…
and Mrs. L has been his teacher for the last two years – first in preschool, then in kindergarten. She is very fond of him, and vice versa.
As we walked to the car (after saying goodbye to his bus driver, who also really liked him), Rerun said, “I’m all finished with kindergarten… do I start first grade tomorrow?” Which was reassuring, because despite his complaining, I know he really did like school, and the adults who were in charge of him this year.
