Kennedy graduated from Pre-K last Friday, May 13th. I have put this post off for a while now, not knowing how to write about this milestone in her life. For those reading, you may think, really it is Pre-K?!? This has been the most amazing year for Kennedy in so many ways...academically, socially, and in her walk of faith. Her school is amazing but I have to say that her teacher is even more amazing. Because of the structure and curriculum in the classroom, our decision after next year becomes a tough one. Kennedy will be blessed to enjoy another year at Grace in T-Kindergarten. This gives us the option to test her into to 1st grade or follow with Kinder. Ask me now and hands downs, I would say "yes" she is ready, however, when we look at her having an August birthday, being the baby in her class, and technically being almost a year younger than peers in her class we hesitate on what is the right decision for her.
Kennedy is reading, loves learning, and loves God. Friday as we sat through her graduation, even though we know she has one more year at Grace, tears rolled down my face. Words will never be enough to describe the gratitude I have to the Pre-K teachers. At the ceremony, each child was given a word to describe their personality and who they are as a Pre-K student and Mrs. Chris chose virtue for Kennedy. Virtue defined means one who strives for moral excellence; goodness; righteousness, conformity of one's life and conduct to moral and ethical principles; uprightness; rectitude. We were all smiles and had to laugh when Mrs. Chris said that Kennedy gets upset when others don't follow the rules and lets them know that they are not doing so too.
