Today is Chloe’s last day of school. I feel like we’re one of the last schools to get done this year… which is a huge bummer because we actually start really early this fall (August 22nd), so she’s getting a pretty short summer break. But any break is a welcomed break, right? (On a side note, we had a big thunderstorm last night and when she woke up it was still pouring. She sadly asked me if they were going to postpone the last day of school until tomorrow. Ha! I told her they would still have school even if it’s raining. On our walk to the bus it had finally stopped raining but the thunder was still rumbling overhead. Josiah thought that was super awesome.)
Her comparison pictures are so interesting to me. I feel like this was the year that she “grew up.” But in reality, I probably feel like that every year… hah!
We joked with her yesterday that she doesn’t get summer vacation and that we were going to keep her in school all summer–and without batting an eye she said, “OK!” She just loves her teacher and learning. She brought home all of her desk supplies yesterday and I read through some of her work from the year and she has just the nicest handwriting. See….! (Granted, her spelling needs a little work…)
She also earned an award at school for Artist of the Month. I’m not exactly sure what that means, but she got a certificate, so that’s fun.
She DOES have good handwriting! And the spelling is spot on phonetically. She just hasn’t learned the millions of exceptions, yet!
Looks as though Chloe is more relaxed in the end of the year picture. I’m so glad she loved her teacher. Going into the new school year can be fearful not knowing anything about the teacher and all the kids in the same grade.I agree, Chloe’s handwriting is quite nice for the end of 1st grade.
