Next week, Finley will officially begin kindergarten at McCarthy-Towne Elementary and we are all very excited! This past Thursday, we went for an orientation. Finley got dropped off in his classroom to meet and play with his classmates and teachers while Dan, Dagny, and I went to a parents meeting.
Afterward, all the children got to ride the bus around town with the teachers and principal. Then, the principal gave each child a McT pencil and a carnation. This is a school tradition that begins in kindergarten. When the sixth graders leave McT each spring, the current kindergarten class will give them carnations. Finally, when any McT children graduate high school (down the block), they can come back for a special ceremony to receive their third and final flower. Here's Finley getting his flower from David, the principal, and his teacher is the one in the dark blue sweater, Cheryl. FYI: All teachers at his school are referred to by their first names!
