(At the end of this blog is a video of the entire graduation program.)
On July 1, we celebrated our last day of the 2020-21 school year with a special graduation ceremony. I decided we all needed some closure to the school year and that it would be fun to have a ceremony with performances from each student. We spent a few weeks preparing for the program. The week of the program we rehearsed each morning and I set up a stage with a curtain.
We started the evening with a hotdog and mac & cheese dinner. Then we prepared to begin our program.
The girls all had new outfits made for the occasion. They chose and bought their own fabric and we had our local seamstress made dresses/skirts for them. We bought Isaiah a new shirt.
Here’s the program from our graduation:
Becca – Piano
The Whirlwind
The Magic Man
Sonatina
The Greatest Show on Earth
Clara – Dramatic Reading – Lost in the Bog by Marie Ripple
Isaiah – Piano
Hey, Rock and Roll Man!

Bubblegum
A Little Boogie
Anna – Dramatic Reading – Run, Bug, Run! by Marie Ripple
Isaiah – Dramatic Book Review – The Mystery of the Aztec Warrior
Becca – Dramatic Book Review – Freddy and theFlying Saucer Plans
Slide Show – Year in Review
Spelling Bee
Presentation of Diplomas
Final Presentation
The final presentation was a rose for me from our HeadMaster.
We ended the evening with frozen chocolate pudding, topped with whipped cream and sprinkles. It was a good evening. Good for the kids to be able to prepare and perform. Good to celebrate all the things accomplished this year. Good for me – Mommy & Teacher – to see our children perform and enjoy celebrating all the work we accomplished this year.
We made a video of the program: Enjoy the Show! (I made most of the videos the morning of the program, so I could enjoy the real program without being occupied with recording.)
