Belmont had a little Kindergarten Graduation, which we did as a car drive by where we picked up Tessa's "diploma" curbside. So that was kind of fun. I took a picture of Tessa with her little diploma when we got home. Tessa was pretty excited after getting it told us multiple times that she was a first grader now.
To help celebrate, we made a graduation cap out of paper and embroidery floss. So it was fun to see her wear it around the house and be excited.
I've been really pleased with Belmont. I've been really impressed with how quickly they were able to adapt. Schools closed on a Monday in mid March and by that Wednesday the school had packets for us to pickup curbside and had online eduction. I was really impressed with how much Tessa has been able to still learn online too.
With Tessa doing schoolwork at home, we had Jenny do some too. She would often watch the more fun lessons like music with Tessa. But we also had her do some workbooks to work on her letters and handwriting. I had bought a pile of dollar store workbooks ages ago and we never used them but we pulled them out this Spring and they have been great for Jenny. I think the way Jenny is sticking out her tongue to help her concentrate is super cute.
Shortly after closing the school, Belmont also threw a little parade where all the teachers drove by all the neighborhoods in the school's boundaries. We made some chalk art to thank Belmont for their hard work as I really appreciated all they had been doing. The girls had fun making signs and decorating to get ready and then enjoyed seeing their teachers and a fire truck and a DJ that came by in front of the house.
