A big day


Jamin had a very big day yesterday. At 1:30, he graduated from kindergarten.
They had a cute little program. The kids sang songs, the teachers shared a poem, then the graduates walked up one by one to receive their diplomas. Afterward, we went to Jamin's class to collect his projects and chat. 

We have seen Jamin grow so much this year. He left for school each morning beaming with excitement and came home each afternoon beaming with pride. He made huge strides with reading, writing, math, science, observation, critical thinking, and confidence. We owe it all to this amazing teacher, Mrs. Atkins:
Our boy also made some great friends. Here he is with his pal Zac (Jamin was clearly done with pictures):

 In the evening, Jamin had his last baseball game...
...and his end-of-season party.

Best quote of the day: So, Mom. I got a metal. Finally.
(He had just been given a team metal.)
