In my school district, we don't have graduation ceremonies, well, really we do, we just don't call them graduations. Instead we call them promotion ceremonies.
At my school we don't even call it a promotion ceremony, we call it a "Celebration of Success."
It's a bittersweet time because we teachers grow so close to the kids and their families and unlike traditional schools, we won't see them as they grow.
That is the one thing that I really miss. I miss saying hi to the kids and their parents and hearing about what things they are up to.
Here are photos of my Graduation Kids Glyph. My kids robe color is determined by the school that they will be attending next year. They are holding either a book or a pencil, depending on if they like reading or writing the best. The shoes denote how they go home after school each day. The tassel color tells if they are a boy or girl.
After we complete the glyph we analyze the data. It's a lot of fun and the parents think it's super cute. By doing this glyph the kids learn who will be going to the same school as them next year.
I have adapted the glyph to be used by any school. Take a look at the preview.
