Last Day of School

June 15, 2011

We made it through another year of school! They seem to be going faster and faster each year. The kids all did well this year and learned a lot. They were excited for summer to begin.

Marin with Mrs. Rahmann and Ben with Ms. Cecchini (below). I truly feel blessed to have a school for my younger children that is so great. It is filled with wonderful teachers and families. Both Marin and Ben improved this year in school and came home with 1 "B" and the rest "A"s. Wah hoo! Marin learned tons about California history, played the viola and improved in her reading and math. Ben loved the dinosaur unit and continues to amaze me with his reading skills. How can he be the same boy who struggled so much in kindergarten and the beginning of 1st grade with reading?

When I asked him what his favorite part of 2nd grade was he said, "My teacher and my classmates." How wonderful is that?

To celebrate the end of school and the beginning of summer, we headed to the pool of course! The Hall family and other school friends joined us for swimming and food.

Gracie loves to float! She just started swim lessons last week.

Amanda, Marin and Maggie had tons of fun!! Ben and Ian played catch whenever Ian wasn't warming himself in the shower. The pool was actually a perfect temperature- he just has no meat on his bones to keep himself warm.

I love summer!
