Aila's Grad

Ontario is hilarious!! We had no idea that this was coming.....and we laughed when we saw these pictures in Aila's backpack yesterday!!

It seems she is graduating from Sr Kindergarten to Grade 1! (there are 2 years of Kindergarten here, what Manitoba calls Nursery, they call Jr K) So the school makes a big to-do about it. I guess to get the children excited about the following year, growing up, and being in school 'all day'. (Because all kids here are bussed, it means that she will be gone from 8:45 am until 4:30 pm every day)

Kinda cute...

I lived in TO at her age and totally remember 'graduating' from Senior Kindergarden! :)

So very cute! Evan went through the exact same thing. They even had a grad ceremony with diplomas and refreshments.

I think it is somewhat silly but it is absolutely adorable and maybe it is something that the little ones will remember for years to come.
