Last Day of Kindergarten


So today was the last day of school, and the last day of Kindergarten for Sasha.
I should catch up on the school year for her, since I did not post about it before. Her first day went well, and as I was taking pictures of her on that first day, I took this one which amused me:
 
It reminded me of the meme picture "McKayla is Not Impressed", so I call the picture "Unimpressed Kindergartener". She did well in school this year. Kindergarten these days isn't like it used to be. Sasha had full days, non-stop full of education, and no naps. Much unlike when Cassie went to Kindergarten with her half days and naptime and cute little art projects.

Sasha had a few interesting encounters this year. She has kept her feisty spirit. She has always been a picky eater, and so we had a problem a few times with lunch. I had her eat the school's hot lunch to try to encourage a more varied diet, but there were a few times it backfired.

One day in particular was taco day. There is nothing specific about tacos that she hates. When you look at it in parts, she likes every individual part of a taco. But when you combine those ingredients and call them a taco, she engages full stubborn mode. So on this particular taco day, she marched herself and her tray straight up to the school principal and announced, "I hate tacos!".
The principal tried to coax Sasha into eating it. She said that maybe Sasha could break the taco apart and eat the parts that she liked. Sasha scolded, "What part of 'I HATE TACOS' do you not understand?". This shocked the principal, and Sasha was sent to the principal's office to eat her lunch in solitude. That was the second time in the year that Sasha was sent to the principal's office. (The first had no amusing story; she was disruptive in reading class.).

Anyways, Sasha is glad to be done with school. She had been hinting lately that she missed the days before kindergarten, where she stayed at home all day. It hasn't quite sunk in yet for me that we are now on our summer break, but I suppose it'll sink in by the middle of next week.
