Last Day of School

Yesterday was the last day of school for Madison and Hudson. It's hard to believe that Madison has competed her Kindergarten year and moving onto First Grade!! She couldn't have had a better year. She has grown and learned leaps and bounds. She ended her year having received all E's and 3's on her report cards and was the only one in her class to receive the Principal's Award. She was very proud of herself about that! Her teacher wrote on her report card that she is now reading and writing at about a 3rd grade level and her math skills are at a 2nd grade level. She also said that Madison will always hold a special place in her heart!!

Way to go Madison!!

Hudson also completed his first year of preschool, and absolutely loved every minute of it! Not a day went by where he didn't want to go. He loved his teacher and has also learned and grown a ton! He was truly a baby when he started school, and now he speaks incredibly well, counts to 20, knows all his colors, sings the ABC's, among many other songs, and even knows most of the letter sounds! He is also well on his way to being potty trained. He is truly going to miss going to school this summer.

Great job Hudson!!

The last week or two of school was busy with many fun events. Just before Memorial Day Hudson had a Patriotic Performance at his school, where each class performed patriotic songs and dances that they had learned. It was adorable.....I will try to get a video up asap! He sung "Three Cheers For The Red, White and Blue" and a Marching Song. He seemed to really enjoy being on stage!!

Madison had a fun-filled student appreciation week, where each day had a theme and finished with an ice cream party on Friday. Then we had her end of the year field trip/party to one of her classmate's houses. The kids had a blast running wild. Her teacher couldn't believe how much energy they all had as compared to how calm they are in the classroom!

This year has been a tremendous blessing to the kids and us! They were able to be a part of two incredible schools that were able to encourage them to reach their fullest potential! It was an emotional last day as we realized that there was a really good chance they would not be returning back there next year! We are truly thankful they were able to have a great start at school, and are confident that they will do even better next year....no matter where we might be!

In the meantime....Hooray for Summer!!
