graduation day










"Mommy we have graduation day on the 28th"
The concept of kindergarten children graduating really amused me but the preparations made real sense to me. 
They were going to sing this song-Start spreading the news we are leaving today, we want to be a part of 1st grade,1st grade. We worked very hard, our teacher is proud, so open up the doors to 1st grade, 1st grade. If we can make it here we'll make it anywhere, so here we come 1st grade ,1st grade.
I feel this was a great way to prepare children for the next step they were going to take.
The day started with songs from the LKG and then UKG. The IISJ has half the school strength as kindergarteners and I really commend the work Ms Nirmal Jain has done in helping these little kids bloom. I am sure it is really difficult managing a school in this not so open community,language being one of the biggest hindrance. 
Manu will be going to grade 1 from the 2nd of april. Feel a bit sad for him for when he goes back to India he'll have to go back to UKG. Indian schools are very strict in terms of age :-( 
Anyways so today was fun. The little kids did a great job with the beautifull songs their teachers had helped them prepare. They looked really cute with their graduation caps :-)

Hello Moma, I would say you try still. coz long long ago, i did LKG/UKG in one year, the teacher asked me to sit in UKG after half year coz she thought it worth. IF you can somehow convince them age part, I am sure they will have no second thoughts given manu's knowledge.. he i know would have picked up lots during the last one year. So try and all the very best...
