Esme Graduates from Kindergarten

Here's Esme with her teacher, Mrs. Morrell, who came to school on her maternity leave to be there for graduation. Now that is one dedicated teacher. We love you, Mrs. Morrell!



Esme's other teacher, Mrs. Czaja, took this picture of the three of us together after graduation.



Here's Esme and her proud dad.



Here's Esme and her proud mom.



Esme and her good friend Rachel, who gives new meaning to the term "a whole head taller"!



Sweet Esme, as she rises to accept her "Great Writer" award.



Contemplating the big world of first grade.



Very serious...or very bored...



Very excited!



This is Esme's very special kindergarten award. Each of the children was singled out in a special way; Esme's writing (penmanship, topic choice, voice and style) has really become something wonderful this year...for a five-year-old, anyway! :)
