Rion is headed into his last week of kindergarten. He said he is excited because he wants to be a first grader. Last week all the kindergartners put on a program. They sang six songs and then got a kindergarten certificate. I asked Rion why he hasn't been singing any of those songs at home, but Fred said he has been singing them everyday after school. There were some really goofy songs and Fred had no idea what he was singing about. He said he finally put it altogether at the program. The lyrics to one song was just names of fast food restaurants and the kids had actions to go with each restaurant. I would have been concerned if I heard Rion singing about all the fast food restaurants. In context it was a cute song.
The week before last they had a school dance. They have been learning dancing in gym so this was a way to show off their new moves. I can't remember learning to dance in grade school. I thought that torture was reserved for junior high. At this dance only the older kids danced while the younger kids ran around the gym. The funniest moment involved Cordelia. There was a break in between songs so the students could get organized for the next song. Cordelia was getting brave and walking around the gym on her own more. During the break she was walking up front by the speakers. Just as she turned to walk back to me the DJ turned on "Cotton Eyed Joe". She jumped and picked up her pace and ran back to me.
This week they have lots of fun activities planned. They are going to the zoo one day and the last day is an awards day and activities outside. I can't believe Rion will be a first grader and Torii will be starting school in the fall as well. These kids are growing up too fast.
