We had our last day of school on Thursday! Every year on the first day of school & last day of school, I take a photo of the girls. It is so fun to see how they change during the school year. Claire first day & last day of Kindergarten: Claire grew so much in Kindergarten! She learned to read this year & made new friends. Her teacher described her as a sensitive soul & friend to all. I can't believe she will be a 1st grader this Fall. She is excited about being a big kid & getting to have the same recess & lunch as her sister next year! Kate on the 1st & last day of 2nd Grade: Kate looks SO much older than she did just 9 months ago. 2nd grade was an amazing year for Kate. She had the same teacher as she did in Kindergarten & we LOVE her. This year has been magical for Kate. 2 of her best friends were in her class and Kate's love of reading exploded 10 fold. The night before the last day of school, there were a lot of tears at bedtime tonight from my sweet Kate. She was crying because it was going to be the last day of school. Quote from Kate "I wish I had a time machine so I could travel back in time to the first day of 2nd grade and do the whole year all over again. I'm going to miss my class and teacher so much. I don't want it to be over" I saw this and thought it was so true: I also get emotional the last few days of school. I always get a little teary thinking about how much my kids have learned and how much they have grown (physically, academically & socially) I feel so fortunate to live in a town that has such a great school district and that my kids love school so much they cry at the end of the school year. I was also sad to see my group of students off. This year was a GREAT group of 7th graders. After 11 years of teaching, it was one of my best groups yet. I wasn't even counting down the days until summer because it really was a nice group. But, now that it's summer, those students are a distant memory ;) I love having summer off to spend each day with my 3 crazy kids. We have some fun things planned for this summer, can't wait to share them with you! ****************** The winner of the $100 Visa Gift Card is: Julie Leave me a comment or email me to claim your prize!
