Fans, our Birdie will not flit off to kindergarten until the Thursday following Labor Day, but her Pre-K class had its commencement ceremony the Thursday before last. We gathered for what will be the last time for a while at the St. Louis Park Junior High. The graduates appeared on the stage of the cafeteria in shiny red robes. Our Birdie was looking for us. When she finally spied us, she raised her hand in the briefest of acknowledgments and then went back to the busy of looking like a mature pre-K graduate. We wouldn't distract her! But, her new shoes would. They were magenta pave if you will with black pave hearts. And underneath that shiny red robe was a new long dress so Birdie was feeling pret-tee fine. You only go around once. Might as well do it in sparkley shoes.
Mr. Mark said a bit about each student as he or she crossed the stage to Ms. Elyse to receive his or her diploma. Each child's classroom nickname was noted. Here is what he said about "Claire-bear":
"Another one of our classroom ambassadors, Clara is the first to befriend any new student, to help show them the ropes--and never the last to remind someone of the rules. A rule follower herself, Clara has been a delight to have in Pre-K all year, as she sets a shining example of positivity and kindness that will truly be missed. She'll be attending Susan Lindgren this fall."
Isn't that so lovely, Birdie Brigade?
Kindergarten. Here she comes! But not quite yet, thank goodness.
