kindergarten graduation

my 5 & 6 year old class did wonderful at their graduation! i definitely shed a few tears. i was so proud of them! not to mention i was crying happy tears because all the hard work was finally over! preparing for a chinese kindergarten graduation is like preparing a broadway production. chinese kindergarten graduations are more important than both high school and college graduations in america! they take them very seriously. it's a time to showcase the children's talents in music (playing instruments and singing), acting, memorization skills, public speaking, art, sports and individual talents. there were literally 25(+/-) different items on the roster.
