Kindergarten graduation

I’m here today with a post that is near and dear to my heart: Kindergarten Graduation!! This year I have been teaching 1st grade and for the first time in my teaching career, I didn’t get to do one. It was definitely always my favorite event that I put on as a Kinder teacher. I would love to share some tips and simple ideas with you today to use with your own Kinder Graduation! My ceremony always took place on the day before the last day of school, and was in the morning time. I had my kiddos get dropped off in the room just like it was a regular school day (even though they were in their fancy clothes,) and parents could go over to the hall to grab a seat for the ceremony. Our ceremony lasted about 40 minutes from start to finish. My old school was part of a church, so we had what we call a “Large Hall” with a stage. It was also our gym too! But, that was where we chose to have our ceremony. At my school, I called it “Kinderbration.” Kiddos did not wear caps and gowns for this ceremony, as I think that it distracts them. I always had them wear fancy clothes, or “church clothes” as we called them. • Kiddos would process into the ceremony down a center aisle with a partner. They would walk in holding hands (so adorable) and would walk up the stairs to the stage. I would have them stop in the middle of the stage and give each other a hug or a high five before they sat down on their chair. The chairs they sat on during the ceremony were facing theaudience. The song I used for...
