Kindergarten Promotion

Courtney attended Las Floras Independent Study program this year for Kindergarten. It is a home-school program run by the Elk Grove School District. This last week, they held a promotion ceremony for the 6th Grade students and the Kindergarten students. There were 3 Kindergarten students promoting and 8 6th graders (of which only 3 showed up). It was the sweetest little ceremony. The teachers brought up one student at a time and talked about them. Then they presented them with a candy bar gram that talked all about them and things the teacher liked about them this year (I will try to get a picture of Courtney's and post it-it was really cute!). Then the students and families had snacks.
This is her teacher, Mrs. Clements. Courtney really worked well with her. We appreciated her patients with Courtney and how much she helped the transition from traditional school to home-study go good. We would meet with her every two weeks to turn in the work that we had finished and to get our assignments for the next two weeks. We will miss seeing her regularly. Courtney was able to keep up with the traditional kindergarten class work. Her biggest accomplishment this year was learning how to read. She loves to read and is now asking me how to fingerspell (ASL) everything! We are really proud of all the progress she made this school year.
Congratulations Courtney!
