End of the Year Wrap Up

Ryan and his cute buddy Katie..its a love hate thing

Ryan is out of school, and in true elementary school fashion it was sent off in style. All the first graders did a patriot performance. They sang such cute songs, and did what Ryan calls "Jazzy Hands" which made me laugh and get teary eyed all at the same time.

Ryan was the tallest kid so he was at the very top side of the risers, which was PERFECT to see him. Except he almost passed out one day at practice, and I was worried that if he passed out during the performance he would take down 10 kids with him

Hooray for America

Look at those Happy Jazzy Hands..he was way into it!

Ryan also made honor roll again for the semester. We are really proud of him. Ryan worked really hard and reached all of his "Smart" goals and learned all his sight words.

Ryan and Abby..she is such a cutie and so sweet

Ryan and his Honor Roll Medal.

First grade was a great year. Ryan's teacher, Mrs. Cannon was amazing. She has such a passion and talent for working with these little people. I had the opportunity to volunteer every Monday afternoon, and what I learned was, I could NEVER teach, and that first grade teachers have a disturbing tolerance to noise and tattle tailing. I loved seeing Ryan is his element. Ryan learned so much this year, and is even reading beginner chapter books. He is really gifted at math, and is very lucky because it come easily to him. He wants to be a scientist, a pilot, and Lego creator when he grows up...for now anyways. Adam and I are so happy to watch him grow up and do well in school, but most important we are happy to watch him develop into a kind caring warm person.
