Curtis' End of Kindergarten Activities

The day of Evie's finalization hearing was also a big day at school for Curtis. All of the kindergarteners got to dress up like a book character for the day and then be in a parade around the school to show off their costumes. Curtis chose to be Morris Lessmore from The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore. Gin-Gin made his hat for him the night before. 

The next day was the Kindergarten Celebration performance. Wesley had missed this when he was in kinder due to strep throat, so this was a first for us. As you would expect, they were so cute. They sang about 5 songs, mostly in Spanish. Curtis is on the top row in red. 

He spotted us!

After the program, the kids got a snack and a beach ball with a small sharpie attached. They got to go around and have their friends sign their beach balls. They seemed to love it, and it challenged their motor skills to hold a ball and write on a round, soft surface. :)

 We got Wesley out of class a little early once the program was over and headed home. I think I was feeling a little nostalgic (I really love the boys' school), so I took some pictures on the way out.

library.

The boys headed downstairs on one of their last
days of kinder and 3rd.

Happy Evie!

The next week was Curtis' play day with all of the kindergarteners. There were thunderstorms going on, so it got moved inside to the gym. They wore themselves out playing jolly ball (with the HUGE ball) and various races/events.

The kids crab walk around kicking the ball trying to kick it out of the border
of children all around them.

Sack Race!

Tug of War competition (Team Rojo did not win. Ever.)

The next day was Vertical Party where the kids get to party with all of the other grades on their team. They had a beach theme with hula hooping contests and playing games in the hallway. Curtis played Connect Four with some older boys. He actually won once!

And finally, they got to go run around in the gym on inflatables. Those things never let the kids down.

 Whew! A lot going on at the end of the year!
