This was Sam on his first day of Kindergarten.
Bright-eyed, and ready to learn.
This is Sam today, a Kindergarten graduate and First Grader!!
He is older and wiser.
His brain is so much fuller than it was 9 months ago.
I am so proud of Sam this year. He started off struggling. His fine motor skills were definitely not where they needed to be in order for him to form his letters easily. He was discouraged at first, but he didn't give up. Now, when I look at his writing and see the progress he has made, I am SO PROUD of him. He has worked really hard. He has matured so much. He has grown in confidence as he has experienced successes this year. Sam, YOU DID IT!! You didn't give up. You persevered. There were lots of tears and wailing at times, but now we can rejoice as you move forward!! You can enter first grade confidently, knowing that you can conquer anything.
Each student was asked to bring their favorite treat/dessert to share with the class for a feast today. This is what Sam chose to bring:
A snack mix with pretzels, Cheerios, Goldfish, star marshmallows, and mini Kisses.
It was a huge hit!!
Congratulations to Sam! Where did you pick up star marshmallows??
ReplyDeleteIts so hard to fathom that sweet Sam is a Kindergarten graduate. I remember holding him when he was a tiny, tiny (seriously tiny) baby. Wow - now he's in grade school?????? I can't believe it, but I'm totally proud of him. He's a great kiddo, Laura. You know how to grow 'em!
