Kindergarten is Magical

Emmy's Kindergarten year has been simply delightful.  We love her teacher.  He is a modern day Mr. Rogers.  He starts off each morning by playing the guitar and singing with the kids.  His manner is mild, consistent, and unfailingly polite.  His classroom is welcoming and neat as a pin.  The children love him and respond to the respectful and considerate tone that he sets.

I can't believe that the end of the school year is in sight.  I feel sad.  I love that the Kindergarten is still so separate from the rest of the elementary school.  I love that the days are shorter and that even though they are learning SO MUCH, they get the chance to do really fun stuff.  Here are a few photos of all of the fun Emmy has had this year:
