Kindergarten Promotion

Yep, Dallin is officially a first-grader! He is very proud of that. Today his school had a Kindergarten Promotion (graduation) where the kids sung songs and then each of them marched across the stage and got a certificate from their classroom teacher.


Dallin and Mrs. Jantzen his Spanish teacher. Looks like he will have Mrs. Jantzen again next year for his dual language class. (We'll see how it works out-very long story)


Joey and Dallin. This was one of Dallin's best friends in his class. He talked about him (and to him) a lot and they got in trouble together.

These are the songs they sang together at the beginning of the ceremony:

(Sung to the tune "Mary had a Little Lamb")

Keller kids will graduate, graduate, graduate,
Keller kids will graduate on this special day.

(Shouted/sung as a military march)

We can say our ABC's
And we know our 123's
We're still learning every day
And this is what we have to say:
Count off 1,2
Count off 3,4
Count off 1,2 3,4

We can say our colors too,
And we'll write our name for you
We're still learning every day
And this is what we have to say:
Count off 1,2
Count off 3,4
Count off 1,2 3,4

Kindergarten's almost past
Kindergarten was a blast
We're still learning every day
And this is what we have to say:
Count off 1,2
Count off 3,4
Count off 1,2 3,4



Graduating from Kindergarten in 2007 and from High School in 2019!! Sheesh that seems like such a long time from now! I hope he's just as cute and sweet then as he is now!
