Kindergarten Graduation 2012

Another year, gone.....can you believe it.  Wow, I'm getting OLD ----ER!  But, if I must get older, I'm glad I do it along with the Kinders.  What a joy it is to see them the first day they walk into the classroom and then again at the end of the year..........my, how much they grow in such a short time.  Here are a few pictures of this years graduation.  There are a few parents who prefer not to have their children on the internet and for that purpose, I have blocked out their little faces.  Just below the children, hanging on the front of the stage, are pictures that the children colored of "what they want to be when they grow up".  We had everything from teachers, doctors, firemen, etc.  But, my most favorite one being.................A Dog Walker.  Don't ya love it.


I've used the same programs and diplomas for the past few years so this year I revamped them and made them look totally different.  I used free graphics from the internet to help in making the diplomas, programs, poems, and candy bar wrappers.  Love the Internet and people who make their stuff accessable for others to use.
 
DIPLOMA

PROGRAM...Outside Cover - Inside


GREAT EXPECTATIONS - POEM

GRADUATION CAPS 
I make the graduation caps from poster board.  They are easy to make and they looked so cute on the little Kinders.  Although, as you can see, our graduation caps do not have tassels on them.  We've learned from early on, that tassels, little Kinders, and graduation, are not a good combination.

CANDY BAR WRAPPERS
I got the candy bar wrapper idea a year or so ago from the internet. It is fun to gather ideas from others and then make it into something that works for you.

These are the invitations I made that were given to each family.  To tie everything together, I used the same graduating children on the programs, candy bar wrappers and invitations.  I thought they were the cutest graphics!
