Moving Up Ceremony

Monday June 8 is DB's "end-of-year celebration" at school. They don't call it a"moving up" ceremony anymore because not everyone moves up and they want everyone to participate.

Ooookay.

And then, it's flippin' June 8. The school year doesn't end until the 27th. How does this help the kid with extreme transition issues get ready for 2nd grade by thinking he's done with first grade a month ahead of time?

Can you see the steam coming out of my ears???

My posts this week are short for a reason -- willl let you know next week. A good thing.

What on earth! Are there any kids who finish their school year then? (I'm trying, trying, trying to see how this could be a reasonable thing for them to do...)

I can totally see how it happened. The people in charge of the calendar planning started with the end of school, plotted in the 5th grade and kindergarten graduations, added in all the field trips and other non-movable stuff for the month, and this was the only day free.

But that doesn't mean it makes sense!
