Last day of school!

All the kids had a great last day of school! We are so proud of how well each of them transitioned to their first year of school in the US, how they overcame challenges, and are thankful for their attentive teachers, and the new friends they made. Caleb had a great year at Ronald Regean Middle School. He had the biggest transition going from a small school with about 10-15 kids in his classes, to a school of 1400 kids with 30+ kids per class, and moving to 7 classes a day. He jumped into a new school curriculum, had to form many new work habits, made new friends, and he matured and learned a lot this year. We are proud of Caleb’s adaptability and resilience, and are excited to see what is in store for him next year.

Benjamin had an amazing 5th grade year at Alvey Elementary. (See 5th grade blog post). He adjusted well to the new school system, worked hard, made many new friends, and demonstrated leadership and rose to challenges when called upon. We are thankful for his wonderful teachers Mrs. George and Mrs. Cranston, who challenged and encouraged him. Benjamin is excited for middle school  and we look forward to watching him grow in this new environment.

Eliza loved Kindergarten and had a great year! She learned how to write all of her letters and numbers, read, and many other new things. (See kindergarten celebration post). Eliza made lots of friends, loved her teachers Miss Pac and Mrs. Riley, and had a blast at her first year in school.

 

Peace out Kindergarten, 5th, and 6th grade….hello 1st, 6th, and 7th grades. And welcome summer!
