The big day was on June 11, Ethan graduated from kindergarten. His graduation program was so cute. His class put on a fashion show. Each child dressed up in something that they love and walked along the "catwalk", really the stage, while the "emcee", really Mrs. Craven, told about their look and their likes. It was so fun to watch Ethan walk across the stage with his tongue in his cheek (this is what he does when he is embarrassed). It was also fun to watch the other students. I have gotten to know them a little throughout the year while I helped in the classroom. They also had a few songs they had been preparing and a slide show of all the things they had done throughout the year. I am quite proud of myself for holding it together so well, even though the "Friends Forever" song tugged at my heart a little. Ethan is very excited to move on to first grade, however I'm not sure I am. I can't believe he is going to be gone all day and I know I will miss him. I guess I will cross that bridge when it comes. July 27 is not nearly far enough away.
Ethan's teacher this year was Mrs. Craven and I couldn't have asked for a better teacher. She was so wonderful and got to know each child so well. I was so sad on Ethan's last day of school and I think that the biggest reason was knowing that Ethan wouldn't see Mrs. Craven on a daily basis. She was such a big part of his life for 10 months and now it is all over. Ethan also told me that he is going to miss her too. I can only hope and pray that my future kindergarteners will have Mrs. Craven as their teacher!
