Megan's Kindergarten Year in Review

Megan had a wonderful year of Kindergarten.  This was her first time in school, and she was so excited to be finally going to school (We worked on preschool at home.)  We are so grateful for the wonderful teacher God planned for her. Mrs. Santo was just wonderful.  She met Megan's needs and was just so loving and patient.  Megan LOVED her teacher, and we did too.  It was fun to see her learn and grow. She made lots of friends and enjoyed the social aspect. We had no behavior issues which was very good (I guess she saves her behavior issues for me! I must say though, she is a blessing to have at home and usually is a very sweet girl!)  Here are quite a few pictures that show many memories of her year of kindergarten.

Megan's first day of school

Megan meets her teacher!

This has nothing to do with school, but this was a big event for Megan during the school year. She adjusted very well to a little baby brother!

Megan loved this Happy Birthday sign that Mrs. Santo gave to Megan.  

Megan decorated a turkey feather for their class Thanksgiving turkey.

Megan reading to her Emily....I loved seeing Megan start enjoying reading and doing more of it on her own.   She improved a lot on her reading during her kindergarten reading.

Sight words were reviewed often during the year.  On this morning before school, Megan was organizing her sight words to make a sentence.  

Megan's turkey and Indian she made at school

Megan really started to enjoy writing different sentences and such during the year.  This was a letter to Grandma that she wrote herself..."from Megan to grandma, please write me a note. I love you too."  It was always fun for me to try to decipher the letters, stories, she would write.  

For her Valentine's Day party, Megan asked specifically in the morning if Emily could come.  Emily of course was very excited to go see Megan at school. For their craft, they had to draw something they loved.  Megan drew a bookshelf with a Bible on it.  Emily copied her and drew the same thing.  I loved that she thought of the Bible as something she loved.

Enjoying the snacks

Megan also enjoyed a few birthday parties during the year with her friends at school.  Here was a birthday party at a skating rink. It was Megan's first time at a skating rink, and she really enjoyed it.

My sweet girl

Megan is not ready to go to 1st grade and is still saying she isn't going.  (She is nervous and change is hard for her.)  For now, we are going to enjoy our summer together, and hopefully once school starts, she will be excited to go to first grade!
