And that's the end of Grade 1

This year brought reading and mathematics into the house, some crazy tall grown up kids, who somehow managed to keep all their teeth despite all their desperate efforts.

Ava was in a grade 1/2 split, I wasn't sure how she would do at the beginning of the year, but she rocked it.  With the added homework and the push towards learning more she soared through this year. She got all A's and B's and one lone C and I couldn't be prouder!  She's made the greatest of friends and has even planned herself a fun little slumber party later this summer. 

Ethan started this year a bit behind on some things and with a little help from some great, and I mean  GREAT! teachers he has caught up and is a super star! His second report card blew his first out of the water, he got all A's, B's and a lone C as well. What can I tell you these kids rock my socks off!

Ella was a tad bit disappointed when she found out she had to wait till September to start school. We went to her Kindergarten introduction one night after school and this girl is ready!  All that shyness got pushed aside as she walked right up to the sign in table all. by. her. self. And filled out her name tag all. by. her. self. And found her group all. by. her. self.  I could keep going with that but you get the point. 

Next year they are all in school..... all day...... every day...... excuse me while I go cry in the corner.

Although we have a whole summer of awesome before then :)
