Last Day of Kindergarten

I can not believe how quickly this year has gone by and the end of Kindergarten is here.  It has been a great year!  Mrs. Delgadillo has been the perfect teacher for Ella's first year of school.  She's fun, energetic, young and sweet as pie!  Ella adores her and comes home each day from school with stories about how fun school was and how much she loves her teacher.  We couldn't have asked for anyone better to share Ella's first year.

"Dear Ms. Delgadillo, You are the best teacher ever in my heart."

And this is Dylan.  We have heard about Dylan everyday for the entire year.  They sat together at the same table and are such good friends, that Ms. Delgadillo ended up separating them because they did all their work like they were the only two people in the class.  They never caused problems, but if they were together, they never made any effort to work with anyone else at the table.  And not in a mean or intentional way, they just had their own little world.  Ella often told me Dylan was her boyfriend, or that Dylan wanted to marry her...cute, but hopefully not a sign of trouble to come in her teen years.  Ron can't even handle this kindergarten crush :)  Lucky for Ella, Dylan is so sweet and such a good kid.  I've met his mom and she is sweet too.  She's told me all about Dylan's love for Ella and that his journal that came home on the last day of school is full of pictures and kind words about Ella.  Here is what she posted about Dylan's journal:

"Dylan's kinder journal is full of hearts and flowers and statements of how much he loves ELLA. Today I told him he needed to practice writing so he wrote a love note to guess who ELLA!!! What am I going to do with this boy. At least Ella is gorgeous sweet little girl so he picked a good first crush!!"

  

Her friend, Alexia who we've carpooled with all year.....

And some of her classmates.....
