On June 6th, Pierce had his Kindergarten moving on ceremony. It was so cute. They sang a wonderful collection of nursery rhymes set to catchy modern day music. Pierce was the clock from Hickory Dickory Dock.
After the program, they gave out candy awards. Each child received an award. Awards included Symphony Bars for the most musical, Mr. GoodBars for the best citizen, Mounds bars for the kid who showed mounds of improvement, and Babe Ruth bars for most athletic. Twenty awards for each class, and each kid received one that was unique to their personality. Pierce's? He got the Smarties award, for the kid who was
"always having the smartest ideas and thinking outside the box"
Shucks if I wasn't so proud of him! He worked hard this year, and he did such a great job with his reading and writing. I plan to continue to work with him this summer on his reading and his handwriting (which is kind of scribbly still). We have so much going on that it isn't always easy to squeeze in some schoolwork, but I plan to try for a few minutes each day.
Readers, do you have any summer goals?
Oh what a clever teacher to come up with awards like that. The smartie award that is very cool. Look at that smile, congratulations Pierce. B

What a wonderful ceremony! He sure looks happy in the pictures.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds as if you have at least one fabulous, thoughtful teacher in your boys' school! :-) I always get a little teary eyed when children perform. Did you? You must be so proud of your boys. It's nice that you got such great photos of the event for the memory book.
ReplyDeleteAww- he's such a cutie!

ReplyDeleteI love the cleverness behind the award that each child received! And Pierce is certainly turning into a find young man, Lisa!!
ReplyDeleteMy goal for summer is to try to keep it from going by too quickly;)
He looks quite pleased. I need to work on my scribbly handwriting this Summer too ... don't worry Pierce we will get better penmsnship by Fall :)
ReplyDeleteOh, Baby Girl, I would have had tears in my eyes over that (because I do now!)...:)JP
ReplyDeleteSorry to say that my goal is just to get through the summer without killing myself! But really, my summer goals are to take Ella fishing and to several water parks, and go to the hot Air Balloon Festival in Lexington on the fourth. I LOVE watching the kids do their programs and take huge amounts of pictures, but yours here are BETTER! I love this whole theme and idea. And whoever came up with the candy thing is a genius.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great kid! He looks so proud of himself!!
ReplyDeleteGood job, Pierce (and Mom too)! Love those prize ideas!
ReplyDeleteHow cute! I love that he won the smarties award :) That's a fun idea!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I love the photos.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Pierce! He looks awesome.
ReplyDeleteooohhhhh Lisa, I so enjoyed this entry!! Pierce is just adorable and what a cute idea to call this special time "moving on"!!
ReplyDeleteI always did small amounts of school work with my boys during the summer, I always made it fun for them and they still both love to read!!
Congratas to Pierce! Smartie is a great award and a wonderful teacher to support out of the box thinkers - Andy's teacher when he was that age did not appreciate that fact! What a sweetie. sandie
