Schools Out!!!

I'm so sad this school year is over for Logan! I'm happy for summer but it just means that I now have a first grader...how did this happen!!! He has had a GREAT year and come so far in so many ways! He was the 2nd youngest in his class and we had thought we would let him repeat Kindergarten if necessary. However, he has soared leaps and bounds this year and I am absolutely amazed. He LOVES to read and WRITE especially. I have to say he blows me away and just makes me so proud. His teacher always told me how impressed she was with his motivation. He is a "go-getter" and I am so proud of that. As a matter of fact, we have only been on summer break 3 days and he has already written 2 stories without being asked. They are priceless! He wrote one for Addie about a knight who saves a princess. I just love it!! He has also grown so much as a little boy. His behavior has improved 100% since the beginning of the year. Yes, he is all BOY but he is making much better choices. He has made some great friends and just had a wonderful year. He had the BEST teacher and I'm just so thankful for EVERYTHING! Really, we could not have asked for a better year. I'm so PROUD!

Here is Logan the first day of Kindergarten...
And here he is on his last day at the Kindergarten picnic...

I asked Logan what his favorite Kindergarten memory is and this is what he said,

Let's see, I really like doing Math. The money was my favorite. I really liked playing outside with Jake and all my friends and goofing off. I remember when we had DEAR time and we read books. I loved Kindergarten!

Just so you know, he directed me to put the exclamation point and and he is sitting here READING everything I write. How AWESOME! As a teacher, I have watched many children learn to read. It is AMAZING to watch. Now, as a parent, it is even better!

CONGRATULATIONS LOGAN! We are so proud of you!

FIRST GRADE...HERE WE COME!!!
