Summer vacation is here! Calder has his preschool graduation tonight, so pictures to come of that. Today, I want to highlight Amelie. She just graduated from 2nd grade! She has done so well in her new school. Her reading, math, and writing skills have improved by leaps and bounds and she really loved her teacher, Mrs. Rolan.

Working on painting designs on paper that they later used for collages during their study of Eric Carle books.

From a memory journal she made about 2nd grade: “I learned how to regroup. I learn to to do moltuplcashan. I learned how to read more. I learned lots of stuff.”

The LEGO neighborhood her class made.

“My favorite subject was lunch. I liked it so much because they were just so fun.”

Making licorice “rope” to test its strength.

Her class at the end of the year.

“Hey, guys! Show us how excited you are that you all met your reading goals for the year!” And then there’s my sweet subdued little Amelie.

Way to go, Amelie! You worked hard and did so well this year!
