On Tuesday, May 16th, after a year of hard work and months of preparation, the kindergarten class of 2006 graduated from Harvest Christian Academy! Each of the three classes performed songs and recited Bible verses for the gratuates' family and friends who cheered them on. Then each of the students got to walk accross the stage to receive a shell lei from our principal, Mrs. Henson, and enjoy his or her moment of accoplishment! Then, after a final song as a grade level, it was off to the classroom for a reception complete with a photo area, cookie cake, goodie bags, and deplomas.
Many of the children left with shell leis, candy leis, flower leis, and even a money lei piled up around their necks which they had received from friends and family. We have had an awesome school year and although I was in tears after they were gone, I'm glad they are moving on to first grade and I know they will do well and have a great time. I'm so proud of each of my students! Praise the Lord for a wonderful class!
I didn't catch Mrs. Ramos (my regualar aid during the school year) for a picture that night. I was so sad! She is a wonderful, godly lady and a true blessing to me! She made the school year run so much more smoothly. Thank you, Mrs. Ramos! This is one of the HBBI students, Camie, that came Tuesday night to help with our graduation reception:)
Friday, April 28th, was Insect Day for Miss Penick's class. About half of the class enjoyed dressing up as insects. We began a science experiment to see which kind of food ants like the best: fruit, vegitables, or sweets. We named our experiment "Ant Picnic" and then hypothosized which food the ants would like the best and why. After recording our hypothosis on chart paper, it was time to set up our experiment outside. Unfortunately, when we came back ot check on our experiment some time later, we discovered it had disappeared. Not having time to begin again, we decided we would have to try again another day. What a disappointment!:(
