It hardly seems possible that Mister is old enough to graduate Kindergarten, but he did just that on Friday evening. Our graduation ceremony was through our local homeschool support group. Since I am his teacher, I was able to give him is Kindergarten diploma. He looked so handsome in his little slacks, collared shirt, tie, and cap.
He was pleased as punch to receive his diploma. Ever the analytical child, he made sure to point out to me the irony in the fact that although he was graduating Kindergarten with his age peers, he is finishing first grade curriculum and about to start second grade curriculum. I told him that is the price of being the brightest crayon in the box.
We’re so proud of him!
Awww that is too cute. I don’t know why, but they don’t do a kindergarten graduation in our town.
I’ve heard a lot of towns don’t do them, Robin.
My first is graduating from Pre-K tomorrow. I know she is ready- but mommy is not! Slow down kiddos!
I know, right, Carly? They grow way too fast!
Congratulations! The time goes so fast. Seems like just last year that mine graduated kindergarten.
Awww. Congrats! Time flies. Seems like I was just graduating Kindergarten myself!
Time does fly, doesn’t it, Jenn?
Congrats Mister! What a smartie!
That is so sweet. Congrats on the big day!
Ha ha.. that is too cute. I cried a bucket of TEARS when my first daughter had her K graduation ceremony! I had just had a baby #2 so I blame hormones but then she was my miracle child so it was a combo I think!
I’m sure it was a combo, Aimee. 😉
He’s such a cutie and I won’t be surprised to see big things coming from your smart little man. Yay for graduation day!
Thanks, Liz, he does have big things in his future.
Congrats to your little guy! My son would be the one to point out his intelligence, as well. 😉
WOW, that will be us soon too! What a great memory
What a sweet family photo! Mister looks so proud — as he should be! Congratulations! It seems like my son just graduated kindergarten and here he is finishing his first year of college!
Awe! Congrats on the first graduation of his school career! He looks super happy to be graduating Kindergarten!
Aww how sweet. I still have my son’s kindergarten graduation photo sitting in my office near my desk and he is now in 2nd grade. Time flies. Congrats to the graduate!
What a special day! You know, I don’t remember having a kindergarten graduation in my day! 😉
They didn’t have them in my day, either, Krystal.
Aw, congratulations!! That is so nice that you got to be the one to give him his diploma. I’m going to cry at my daughter’s pre-school moving up ceremony!
Congrats on your son graduating from Kindergarten. I wish they did a ceremony for my son. 🙁
Beth- do one on your own and make it a red carpet thing at home! It would be so fun!
Awe, yay! Happy graduation! He looks so proud 🙂
That’s awesome that you’re his teacher. And big congrats to him on the graduation. 🙂
Awww what a proud moment this must have been for you. Congratulations on his graduation. On to first grade!
My oldest is getting ready to enter kindergarten and I am so not ready! I will probably cry on his first day… or several days leading up to his first day. Congrats to little mister on movin on up!
How sweet! We also have a kindergarten graduate this year. It’s crazy how fast time goes.
I know what you mean. My oldest should graduate high school this year and I feel like he was just an infant. Congrats to Mister!
So cute! They grow so fast and it makes my heart hurt.
Congratulations to your sweet boy! He looks so proud, and I know you are as well. My five-year old graduates preschool next week. Bittersweet times.
What a darling ceremony! Congrats to your kindergarten grad!
congrats to your little smart guy!! next step, college?
Brett I used to joke that he’d be doing calculus by the time he turns twelve. It doesn’t seem like such an absurd thought anymore. LOL
nope. guessing he could prove you right quite soon!!
What a little sweetheart and he sounds like a very bright young man 🙂
Congratulations to you both, him for graduating and you for being a fantastic teacher!
How awesome! Congrats to your little guy and to you for all of your homeschooling.
Congrats! So cute! Davey will be graduating next year!
So sweet! That is pretty awesome that YOU got to give him his diploma too. Great memories!
Kindergarten graduation is a HUGE moment!! How awesome! Enjoy it!!
Whew those smart ones keep us on our toes! So happy for him and you it cracks me up he recognizes he’s finishing 1st not k.
Nice! Congrats to the little man! He looks so handsome. Great job on having him on second grade level already!
Congrats to your little man on such a big milestone! He’s a cutie!
It is a wonderful thing to be able to celebrate educational milestones with our children.
Congratulations to your son! And the proud parents of course 🙂 He does seem to be a very bright child!
Congrats to your son Mister! Love the image of you shaking his hand, makes it so official. And, kudos to Mister for already starting 1st grade work. He has a bright future ahead of him!
Congratulations to you and your son! I have one who “graduated” kindergarten this year, but we didn’t really do anything special. We had a lot of end-of-the-year stuff, though, with Awana, choir concerts, etc., so I guess that sort of counts. 🙂
