Kindergarten in the books!

Andrew wrapped a great year of Kindergarten.

On Friday, May 13, his class hosted a special program to share what they have learned with parents, family and friends. Mrs. Sparks picked out a few special sayings for Andrew. One of his during the alphabet was "Z is for first grade ZEST. Look out! Here we come!" It was perfect for Andrew.

 Mrs. Sparks was retiring this year so the kids conspired to make a blanket for her.

Mommy was able to help with Andrew's end-of-year field trip to the local forest preserve. The kids rotated through several stations of activities. Mommy was assigned to the nature scavenger hunt area. We all enjoyed a picnic lunch.

Before the year was out, Andrew helped his class create a special Mothers' Day recipe book. On the Friday that it was being sent home, Mommy received a note that the teacher and aide would like me to stop by their room for a chat. It turned out that the teachers wanted to see Mommy's face as she read Andrew's recipe that was included in the book. We will laugh for quite some time about "Mommy's Special Red Drink".
