Answer 2

We have a tradition of every year when he is promoted and on his honors day , we have a mini celebration.  We go out to eat and he can pick out a new toy.  Nothing big with just the family and his grandparents.  He tries hard all year and yes it is something he is suppose to do but I want him to keep on trying and not give up.  I want him to remember that we celebrate a job well done.  When he actually graduated from kindergarten I went and let him pick out a new bedroom ensamble.  New comforter , sheets, and some posters for his wall.  It celebrated he was getting older and he picked out something from wal-mart so it didn't break the budget.

Answer 3

We always have an "end of the year" lunch.  We go out to eat (Chilli's or someplace they enjoy) and talk about the year - what was good, what was the best thing that happened, favorite classes, old friends and new friends and what they think will happen in the next grade.  My girls are 22 and 17 and they still like to do this.

Answer 4

Well what my parents did was, when i graduated my parents rented a limo and it picked me and my friends up from school in it and we went to ice cream and swimming.

Answer 5

For preschool/kindergarten graduation, we went out to lunch and then went bowling/mini golfing/something similar that they like. For elementary graduation you could just ask what he wants to do. Maybe there's an amusement park close to you? Same for Junior High.

Answer 6

Well, my 11 year old son just graduated from elementry school, my 5 year old son just graduated from kindergarten and my 14 year old step-daughter just graduated junior high. What me and my husband did was, we gave them their presents, for example my 11 year old got an iPod and a gift card to Sports Athority, my 5 year old got a giftcard to Build-A-Bear Workshop along and a sharktooth necklace and my step-daughter got an iMac and an iTunes giftcard.

But, tomorrow, we are taking the three of them out to dinner to celebrate.

What I also did for my 13 year old daughter since she's just going into eigth grade and for my 1 year old daughter since she's not in school, my husband and I got my 13 year old a new outfit from JC Penney and got my 1 year old clothes for her Bitty Twins.
