"Red is for the love we bear,
Orange warmth is everywhere,
Yellow sunlight floods our hearts,
Green sprouts forth where new life starts. Blue Devotion fills the sky,
Indigo night sings lullaby,
Violet wisdom will protect,
The light of truth our lives direct.
A door is open now.
Our friends and family show us how,
to bravely step with hope and cheer,
to learn and grow each passing year.
Goodbye dear kindergarten class,
sweet memories will surely last,
but new adventures must begin,
and new successes we must win"

A peek at our rose ceremony for the rising first graders this year...sweet acoustic guitar music played by @kia_grreen, the touching poem above, read by kindergarten teacher, Ms Birte. In our school the whole first grade year is the bridge that transitions the children from their dreamy early childhood days. Thus, they begin this journey by crossing under a threshold as they leave kindergarten, to be greeted by their first grade teacher. Then as they leave first grade, they take steps over a bridge, as a metaphor of the final transition, to then be "big second graders". 😊
