We Have A 1st Grader!

Last week brought the end of the school year for Evan. Where oh where did the year of kindergarten go? It flew by so fast! I remember my little guy going off to kindergarten on the first day of school, and now he's all done! We now have a first grader in our house. That seems so weird to say. Thursday was Evan's last day of school and the kindergarten classes had picnics out on the playground. Each student could bring their family to the picnic which was really nice. Greg was able to leave work for a little bit, and he, Emme, and I went to the picnic. Emmaline was so excited to get to go to brother's school. She was too cute just making herself at home in Evan's class. It was just like she knew what to do. Here's some pictures from our morning at school on the last day!

Heading out for the picnic. Yep, that's Emme! She jumped in line with all the other kids.

The kids getting their picnic lunch!

Emme was off to play on the playground with all the other kids!Evan and Em wanted to watch Mrs. Mills open her present!

Mrs. Mills' presents are in the photo below. Evan gave her this cup that said, "thank you for quenching my thirst for knowledge" which I saw the idea on Pinterest. He also gave Mrs. Mills a Biggby gift card, and then I put a UL bee on this jar and filled with M&M's. Evan's class was the Bee Room. Evan also made a really nice card too which I forgot to snap a picture of.

The students got beads which meant they are officially 1st graders! Here's Evan getting his!

Mrs. Mills had to get a hug from Evan. She told me she's really going to miss him.

Leaving school for summer vacation! Yep, Emme even got some beads too!

Evan had a fantastic year in Kindergarten. We couldn't have asked for a better teacher. Mrs. Mills was wonderful and we're really going to miss her. I'm so proud of my little guy and how much he grew over the school year. I never imagined how good of a reader and writer he'd be by the end of Kindergarten. He brought home his report card on the last day of school and for the third time in a row he got a perfect report card with all "M's" (Meets expectations- the highest letter one can get on their report card). Lots of great memories from Kindergarten for him. Mommy, Daddy, and Emme are all so proud of you Evan. Keep up the awesome work in first grade!
