Last day of Kinder and 2nd Grade

The last day of the 2011-2012 school year was a lot of fun. All of us were very, VERY ready for Summer to start! On the other hand both Lillie and Samuel had a great year in school and it was hard to say goodbye to such wonderful friends and teachers.

The kids made artwork for their teachers for the last day of school.

Samuel's Kinder teacher was Bonnie Miller and we were so blessed to have her to teach Samuel his first year in school. She loves teaching and you can tell that she truly loved each of her kids. She even made the special effort to come to Samuel's soccer games. Under her tutelage Samuel became the number one reader in the class and he is almost passed the reading level that he needs to pass 1st grade! This year Samuel's favorite thing to do in school was computers and he ended the year saying that he wants to be an engineer. I think he means structural engineer because he is always taking things apart and then trying to build them again. We'll miss you Mrs. Miller! Thank you for giving Samuel and wonderful first year in school!

Here is Samuel's Artwork for her:

I love how Samuel titled her as "Miller" Too cute!

Lillie's 2nd grade teacher was Melitsa Pena and we absolutely loved her! She was a perfect fit for Lillie. She loved her and she loved to teach her. She provided lots of challenges and opportunities for Lillie and we saw Lillie grow and shine even more this year in school. This year, as in all previous years Lillie's favorite thing to do in school was art.

Here is Lillie's letter to Mrs. Pena:
