hollyh Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 So as my little one is finishing up Kinder, I am trying to figure out what we can do to make it a special occasion. I remember my kinder graduation with cap/gown, along with all my siblings'. It was a fun event. I am kind of sad to think that dd will miss out on that and wondering what we can do. Any ideas?

Ecclecticmum Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Why don't you make/print out a certificate? There are plenty of sites on the web that have them. Roll it up, attach a nice ribbon round it, and present it to her on her "final" day. Give it to her in the morning, and don't do school that day, but take her out for ice-cream and a movie, or something fun (a day at the park, go to a local themepark,) You could spruce it up a bit more by attaching streamers across her door in the morning, so she has to rip/pass through them, like at the end of a race. Have lots of balloons and stuff about. Confetti, what-have-you. Sparklers are also fun :D Maybe you could do up a little presentation book of photos of her over the past year doing projects/pictures of her work. I keep all my kids stuff (including photos) in binders from previous years, and they love looking through them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anne in CA Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 My dd had a paper cap and a small photo collection of her preschool/ kinder activities. We had punch and a "congratulations" cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 We have a party for our homeschool group at a pizza/games place. The pre-K and Kinder kids wear the cute little caps (ordered from Oriental trading or something similar) and get a certificate, and older kids who have earned awards/participated in activity groups and the like get what they've earned. Then they all have time to play. This year, it's April 30-the pizza place has better group deals in April than in May because schools come in May ;).

athena1277 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 We always have a special outing or field trip for the last day of school. Anything from the zoo to paint your own pottery. This year we are going roller skating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staceyshoe Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 After each schoolyear, we have a celebration party. All the kids' hands-on projects are displayed, a photobook of our schoolyear is available, etc. We have finger foods, and invite grandparents. It's a big deal in our house. (And afterward we de-clutter all the craft projects and get ready to start fresh next year.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyerin Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 We are actually participating in kindergarten graduation with our homeschool group! Maybe ask around and see if anything like that exists in your area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiannaC Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 These are great ideas. I need to get busy since our last day is Friday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
