I cannot believe there are only 8 weeks left of this school year. Time just flies! I love, love, love summer and not having a busy schedule, but I really get sad as the year winds down and I start thinking about how the kids are growing up so fast. Noah has had a great year with the lovely Mrs. Hedgpeth. She is the warm and fuzzy kind of teacher every first grader should have. Noah has taken school very seriously this year and has taught himself how to write in cursive and is working on his times tables. His reading has just taken off and Mrs. Hedgpeth told us that Noah has better handwriting than she does.

Emma and Ms. Chicca. The most shy teacher we have ever had has worked our great for Emma. We were worried at the beginning of the year that fourth grade with the strict silent type might be tough, but she has proven us wrong. Emma might be the only kid in the class who has not had her card pulled for anything. She is a letter of the law kind of girl, just like her teacher so it works for her. Academically, Emma has stepped it up working harder than ever and her Spanish fluency is amazing. I really love our kids teachers and appreciate the outstanding education they provide. We are so lucky to live right next to the greatest school in town.
