Last Day of School

All the kids had amazing teachers this year, and all three were both excited and sad to be moving on. We will definitely miss their teachers, but they all have been assigned great ones for next year. We are looking forward to another good year ahead (And I'm looking forward to all 3 kids being in school all day. Am I really that old?)

Zak & Mrs. Winter
All school year long when Brian would ask Zak what he learned today, he would either tell Brian "nothing," or that he "couldn't remember." On the last Wednesday of school after the kindergarten program, out of the blue he said "I've learned SO much this year (what a relief, he won't have to repeat kindergarten!) And he really has. He is a good little reader, and a good counter.

Because he is the youngest kid in the school, I was a little worried about sending him to school last year. But he really did so good, he caught on quick to everything that was taught that he didn't already know, and he acted with all of the maturity that a 5 year old boy should. I was very proud of him this year.
Watch out 1st grade here comes Zak!

Les & Miss Phillips

Les really enjoyed 2nd grade. He improved his reading dramatically, and is very good at math. I think his favorite part of math was when they started working on their times tables right at the end of the year. He is going to be really good at math. He came home many times from school and told us that he had run a mile and a half when his teacher took them all out to run a mile. He is proud to be a runner. Les is so excited for 3rd grade, and he is ready to start any day if they would just let him, he is both a very social kid as well as an active kid. He likes the social part of the school year, and the outdoor part of the summer.

Amber & Ms. Thornock
Amber also had an amazing school year. Highlights of the year for Amber were winning he 5th grade science fair, and earning the Presidential Fitness Award. She is quite a social girl, and has had to learn to control her social time to appropriate times, but she is figuring it out. She always does well in school, and is excited to have one of her 5th grade teachers again for 6th grade.
