Lukas' kindergarten graduation

Last Friday, Lukas' Kindergarten class graduated. After singing many songs to us parents and other guests, each child received their diploma and a special award. Lukas special award was "Most Atlethic" and the teacher highlighted his great spirit and energy. He made his daddy proud with this award, that's for sure.

The children also performed a play and Lukas was farmer #3 with few lines to say. He did very well, spoke loud and clear. What an improvement to his social skills after being shy and softspoken few years back. Maybe there is an acting future in the stars. :)

Overall it was a great evening and it will be sad to not see the other children anymore. Many of them are moving on to 1st grade in different schools.

Learning math

These days, Lukas is learning how to substract. The additions he mastered well and he is moving now to the more challenging substractions.

Ms. Ilma, his teacher, has all these little methods how to make it easier for them to get the idea and it works very well. Hand on the head, hand behind the back, whatever it takes to make them understand. Thank you Ms. Ilma for being patient and resourceful!

First field trip

Today Lukas and his kindergarten friends went on their first field trip. To a Mexican restaurant. :) Even though the restaurant is right around the corner from school, the trip involved taking a van which was very exciting.

All kids behaved beautifully and they were rewarded with a stamp in their "passports" and crayons and a booklet to draw in.

This was a great first field trip! Thank you Ms. Ilma. :)

Winter Gala at Kindergarten

Last Friday Lukas' kindergarten hosted a winter gala. The children were well prepared by Ms. Ilma, their teacher, and sang songs for us parents. Lukas participated beautifuly which is usually not the case. He even wore the costume and sang all the songs.
