Kindergarten Author’s Tea

So this is the last week of school for Dalia.  Monday was her Author’s Tea, which is basically what they do for a “kindergarten graduation” at her elementary school.  All of the students had worked hard on writing and illustrating a story which was then put together and bound.  They then each read their stories to the audience while sitting in a big throne like chair……and in between 3 readings or so the class performed an arrangement of multiple songs.  Cookies and lemon water followed along with picking up their art portfolios to take home.  Each of the stories dealt with something they liked, learned, or did at school during the year.  Dalia’s story was titled “Respectful, Responsible, and Ready”  a little thing they did each day……she talked about listening to her teacher, putting away her responsibility folder, and sitting criss cross applesauce on the rug to get ready.  She was cute and soooooo excited to dress up and have us come and hear her.  I videoed with Gage on my lap so Mataya took a couple of pictures for me…….not too bad for a 4 year old……then I snapped one with her teachers Mrs. Hazard and Mrs. Griffin.
