Summer Break!

It's officially summer break!  Today was Brennan's last day of kindergarten.  He was in Mrs. Boose's classroom at Furry Elementary.  He did an amazing job and absolutely loves school!  When asked his favorite part of the day throughout the year, his answer was always "Everything!"  He's reading books, spelling words and doing addition and subtraction.  He seemed to especially enjoy his units on dinosaurs and community helpers.  Brennan made several friends within his classroom and other kindergarten classrooms.  We're so very proud of him and his accomplishments this school year!

Gavin also completed his first year of preschool!  He was in Miss Angela's preschool classroom at St. Ann's Little Blessings Preschool in Fremont.  Gavin also did an incredible job and loves school!  He knows all of his letters and numbers, frequently recites the alphabet (repeatedly...) and can count to 100 independently.  He also made many friends in his classroom.  Mommy frequently heard comments from his teachers about Gavin being a great student and kid.  Goofy Gavin, however, did not talk or barely acknowledge his teachers when Mommy was at school at pick up or drop off, but would start to talk as soon as she wasn't around.  Miss Angela explained that he has great academic skills, but would rarely talk during circle time and, instead, saved his skills for when he was working one-on-one with her.  We're incredible proud of him! Unfortunately, we didn't get an end-of-the-year picture of Gavin.  He attended until the week of Natalie's birth when Mommy started her maternity leave, with the thought that he would continue to attend occasionally throughout the summer.
