Kindergarten Graduation

Our little neighbor girl graduated from kindergarten this year. The day began when someone knocked at our gate and asked Allona to braid her hair in a crisscross fashion across the back of her head. It's nothing like an American kindergarten graduation as you can see. Here's our neighbor in the dress specially rented for the occasion.

The ceremony consisted of quite a few poems including one where three children told who they were going to be when they grew up. One was going to be a politician with political clout like there is in Washington, DC. There were many dances, a few songs and one game.
Here is the graduating class.
