School 2011/12

Avery attended all day Kindergarten this year. The first 6 weeks I thought I was going to die. She would be wonderful all day for her teacher and then come to my room and melt down and just cry she was so tired. I just about put her back to her home school which was half day. I talked with Avery and said I would give it a week. Sure enough it got better and Avery had an amazing year. This is Mrs. Rabjohn who Avery just adored. She was an aide and Avery got to read with her every single day.


Avery and Mrs. Hastings(another K teacher). Each day we did a Walk to Read group where the children went on their level. This was her teacher for the 30 min.

Avery's teacher Ms. Mills. She loved her and had the best time in her class. Avery finished the year knowing about 200 sight words and reading at a mid first grade level. She read and tested on 162 books which was one of the top in her class. Avery mastered all her kindergarten skills and we are so proud of her! She loves to read to Kamden and tries to get him to sound out words. It is pretty funny.

KASEN

I am so lucky because both of my kids had great teachers. Kasen had Ms. Salzwedel for 2nd grade. (no pics because friend took some and have not yet got copies. Kasen ended the school year reading at the end of 3rd grade reading level. He passed off the 1000 sight word list. Kasen loved learning songs and preforming them in front of the class. His teacher just thought he was a riot. He also had straight A's the entire school year. One of the comments on his report card were, "Are you going to sing a lot over the summer? You never know you just might become the next American Idol!!"  Kasen thought this was hilarious. I am so proud of Kasen and all of his hard work!
