Last Day of School

Another school year has come and gone.  This school year seemed to just fly by.  We were so blessed to have such great teachers.  Both teachers were just the perfect match for both Abbie and Avery.  I still can't believe that I have a 1st and 3rd grader next year.  I wish they would stop growing.

Avery's class put on these fun caps and gowns the last day of school as they received their certificates to move on to first grade.  All of the kindergartners were able to bring their mom and dad to see their "graduation." They sang a few short songs, and of course ate cookies.

We are going to miss Avery's teacher Mrs. Wengreen soooo much. What a great blessing it has been for us to have Avery in her class. Avery fell in love with her the first time we met her. I really didn't think Avery would go to school without kicking and screaming, but she loved her teacher and that made all the difference. Whenever Avery was sick she would say "I can't miss school today, Mrs. Wengreen will miss me too much." Is that not a sign of an Awesome teacher who loves each child in her class, and each child knows it. Avery has grown leaps and bounds this year.  We are so lucky to have had such a great teacher that has taught Avery to love school. 

This is Abbie with her teacher Mrs. Hutchings.  Again, a perfect teacher for Abbie this year. This sweet lady has patience beyond what I could have endured with a class of second graders. She has taught Abbie so much this year, and really encouraged Abbie to do what she loves which is writing stories.  Abbie was constantly writing and reading stories to her class with Mrs. Hutchings encouragement.  She was always concerned about each student, and what was best for each of them with their very different personalities.  We are so lucky to have had such a great year.  Much different than that of the year prior, but that is a whole other post for another day.
