I'll give out awards and diplomas then we'll watch the Powerpoint I made and eat cake! I'm slightly worried about not having enough food. I have 31 kids plus I invited siblings and whatever family members can make it. I only had enough in the budget for one cake. It's a full sheet cake but there's going to be LOT of people there. Oh well, too late to do anything now!

Originally Posted By LVBelle Thanks guys! Well, I survived and it went pretty darn well! We did run out of cake pretty quickly, we had a HUGE turnout!

I had a line of kids wanting to take pictures with me for about a half hour, it was crazy! Now I just have to survive the next four and a half days with the monsters and send them off to first grade!

As for graduation ideas, I do skits, going to first grade songs, awards, dances, presentation of carnations to parents, and more. One song I like is to the tune of New York New York: Start spreading the news We're leaving today, We want to be a part of it, First Grade First Grade We worked very hard, Our teachers are proud Our mom's will send us to it, First Grade First Grade And when summer's done, and we're finished with play, we'll open up the doors to it, First Grade First Grade
