Jared was recognized for a few different awards, as shown below. He participated in a math club after school one day a week for the last couple months of school. He got to be part of a team that competed against other local schools. They didn't win any awards, but it was good for him to participate.
He had a great year! He loved his teacher, which Nathan also had in 5th grade. He had a second teacher for some of the year when his teacher's wife had a baby. We didn't catch any of Jared's friends to take pictures on the last day, but we just took pictures of all his friends at Jared's party in May.
Owen also had a great year, and he loved his teacher too. He had lots of friends - here are some of them:
Weston was best friends with Brandon, but got along well with several other classmates as well. He wanted to take pictures with lots of friends on the last day.
It was pretty sad to say good-bye to Weston's teacher, because she was such a great teacher. I had to hold back tears with the giant hug. It must be hard as a teacher to spend so much time with the kids for the year, and then they move on. Teachers invest so much time in their students and develop relationships, but then they're done at the end of the year.
I was more emotional during the Kindergarten graduation this year - I was glad to see how Weston has grown and been successful this year. He has some kind of challenges (maybe a little autistic), but it hasn't impeded his progress this year.
Weston's favorite Kindergarten memory was reading the "Who Would Win" versus books by Jerry Pallotta. We went through a list of things they did for the year, but out of all the fun things they did, his favorite was reading books.
