Beatrice's first day and graduation day from Kindergarten

I'm writing this a year later...

I dreaded this day to happen but at the same time excited for Beatrice's school life.  She starts her formal school(she has her preschool years at the age of 3 at NWA preschool coop where we moms are the teacher) as a Kindergartner at John Tyson Elementary in Springdale where we live.  And I remember vividly when she was 3 years old and trying to teach her some basic school stuff and when she asked why we are doing it, my immediate reply was because when you turn 5 you will be in Kindergarten and she would throw a fit  and declared that she doesn't want to go to Kindergarten and it etched in my heart and worried how she would do when reality is at hand, especially she has her daddy's personality a loner and some kind of a hermit.

But when school start she face it head on and tried her best and did really good at school.  At one point she was selected to be an Ambassador from her class shortly when the school just started. She was the first one who completed reading the first 100 sight words in her class and the only one who got awarded with blue ribbon at the end of the school year for reading the most sight words.  She made friends and enjoyed school a lot more than I imagine it would be and  she does love her yellow reading group under Mrs. Boogaart.

August 14, 2014 they have their open house and she got to try her desk.

August 14, 2014 she got to meet her Kindergarten teacher Mrs. Frankum for the first time.

The first thing Quentin do when we got home after we drop Manang off at school, he went straight to have a tea party since he's always prohibited to play the tea set as he broke the first tea set.

 First week of pick up and this was the Friday and she was escorted by Mrs. Frankum 

 And May 14, 2015 came way too fast it seems like and now my Kindergartner graduated.  Here with Mrs. Frankum and JTE Principal Dr. Sherwood

Beatrice is registered for Kindergarten

March 31, 2014 - Beatrice is officially enrolled for Kindergarten and she was excited. And of course her goofball brother had to be in the picture too smile emoticon And yes I was a little bit teary-eyed when I talked to the lady who processed the enrollment.
