Both girls had such great school years complete with wonderful teachers! I love to compare their first day to last day pictures!
It's amazing how much Jemma has grown up this year! Her teacher described her to me at conferences as very happy, kinda quiet and very social! Jemma is hard to read sometimes, but she definitely enjoyed being at school! Currently, Jemma loves the social/play aspect of school a lot more than the learning aspect! She's definitely not as eager of a learner as her big sister, but she is counting, identifying letters and working towards writing her name. Her coloring has improved tremendously, literally going from scribbling to staying in the lines overnight!
Here is a little clip of Jemma's "Last Slide" on the last day of school!

To say that Jade loves school, would be an understatement! This girl was excited to go to school every single day, and was literally devastated on days she had to stay home sick! Jade's teacher Mrs. Gamboa described Jade to me as a leader and responsible. Jade was often selected to run papers and things down to the main office, because Mrs. Gamboa knew she would do what was asked, and come straight back! She also said she thought Jade could run the class in her absence. ;)
At the beginning of the year, Jade's daily journal consisted of mostly pictures rather than words. By the end of the year, her daily journal was filled with sentences. She loves math and doing story problems and is a whiz at counting! She has progressed so much in her reading abilities as well! She started out not being able to read at all, to now reading complete Dr. Seuss books among others! Her favorite extra is still Art!
There was no Kindergarten Graduation ceremony or anything like that, so I've just included some pictures from the end of the year theme days!
