Our Little Graduate!

Carolina is our youngest and last to graduate from kindergarten. The past six years have flown by like a cloud of dust. I can't believe how fast she has grown.....right before our eyes! Even though at the time I felt bad that she would miss an entire year of school because of one day, I have come to realize that this only helped her. She undoubtedly made a smooth transition from day care to school. I was not worried about her at all. Carolina has always been very precocious. At a very young age, she was always two steps ahead of her brother and sister.

Throughout her first year, she made new friends and reunited with old ones from her home day care. She was the Student and Reader of the Month. She was recommended for the GT Program and made it on the first try. Where as Charlie and Cristina took more opportunities for them to make it. Her reading ability also impresses me all the time. She finds it so easy to make out some words and her vocabulary is so advanced that she never ceases to amaze me. We know she is ready to start 1st grade next year. We are so proud of all her accomplishments.

With her diploma and Outstanding Student trophy!

This was a very special day for her. On a more somber note, it was also a very sad day as Charlie's Grandmother's funeral was also held this day. Charlie was sad that he wouldn't be able to attend her graduation since he was serving as pallbearer for the funeral. I took this picture before he left to the funeral and we left for school. It was both a celebration of life for Charlie's Grandmother and Caro's Graduation.
