End of the School Year!

The end of the school year has finally come! With it comes excitement, but also a few tears as any end of a chapter in your life or new season does.

As much as I look forward to a break, it has been sad to say goodbye to those students who I have grown so fond of. Throughout this year, the one class I have worked with the most is the 6th grade. I have had them for homeroom, science, history, and P.E.
They are a fun group of students all having very diverse personalities and backgrounds. For instance, they all pretty much come from different countries, Russia, Ghana, Philipines, Rwanda, Canada, U.S. There is seven of them in total. I just love this group of kids. They have made me laugh so much!

With the end of the school year, KICS has many things to celebrate and be thankful for. First, we had our first ever field day that was more fun then all of us imagined it would be. Our students competed in team competitions, relay races, individual competitions, and team cheers. It all led up to the end of the day when totals were calculated and one overall winner was named. At the beginning some of our students were not that into it. Plus, it did not help that most of them had no clue what a field day/ play day was. We are not in America that is for sure. But, by the end of the day pretty much everyone, from the kindergarteners all the way up to our secondary students, were giving their best and really into every activity. They were cheering and determined to win. It was also really neat to watch the older students help the younger ones. The teams were created with each having a student from almost every grade. KICS also can celebrate because we had our first ever graduate. Roland was our only one and was the first.
