I Have a 1st Grade Graduate!

Shelby's last day of school was on Friday. They had to go for a worthless 1 hour. My calculation was 1/2 of her class didn't even show up. She had a lot of fun in first grade and loved Miss Hoelscher. She learned a lot and continue her excellent pace on reading that she started in Kindergarten. I think she ended up reading at about a 3rd grade level. She also did great on her weekly spelling tests, only missing 1 word all year. Although, I've wondered all year if those words were challenging enough. She only received 1 serious face on her behavior calendar that came home every day, otherwise she had a :). She made the poor choice to agree to pass a note for her friend or not so great friend Lilli. She was not happy and hopefully learned a lesson. Overall Shelby had a good experience and a successful year in 1st grade!

Here is Shelby's comparison of her first day and last day. Like Morgan's it is kind of hard to tell but what it looks like to me is her face and belly both slimmed down.

Shelby & Miss Hoelscher

soon to be Mrs. West when she gets married next weekend!

Shelby had a play date with Quentin after school. Morgan & I hung out too. We met at Subway for lunch and then we all cooled off at the McGraw sprinkler park. This summer our goal is to work on the math packet I ordered from the school and practice cursive writing from a book I bought from Sam's Club. And of course, keep reading. Hopefully by August she will be as ready as can be for 2nd grade. Holy Cow!
