Another great school year has come to an end for Skylar and Madden. Madden had a great 1st grade year. He was a fantastic student when it came to both academics and behavior. His main struggle that Mrs. Burns told us was that he just needed to slow everything down. He always wanted to be the first one done with his school work and would make really silly mistakes that if he just slowed it all down those mistakes wouldn't happen. Luckily by the second half of the school year he seems to get and it didn't seem to be much of a problem. He loved going to school everyday. When I would drop him off he was always running into the school. He played football and soccer just about every day at recess. Always bringing his football to play with all his friends. He was definitely Mr. Popular in his class room. Early on in the school year he was given the nickname Mayor Madden by all his classmates and Mrs. Burns presented him with Future President award at the end of the school year.
I feel so blessed that I never have to worry about Skylar when it comes to being a great student. She is always at the top of her class when it comes to all subjects and her behavior is always top notch. 3rd Grade definitely test their ability and she passed with flying colors. They even started state testing this year and she scored well above the standard. She may not be running into school each day like Madden, but she never complains about having to go. I know she enjoys learning and being apart of the classroom. She really bonded this year with a group of girls who she spent most of her time with. We were proud of her for branching out and trying new things like science fair. I can't believe she only has two more years of elementary school and then she is off to middle. Going to try and cherish these few years we have left.
Skylar and her classmates.

These girls were thick as thieves this school year.
Ended the school year with a massive pool party at the Bressi pool.
What a difference a school year makes.
Well,another school year of learning new things, becoming a better reader, gaining math skills, playing sports, and building friendships. Skylar and Madden look so happy in each picture. The changes each has gone through from the first day of school to the last is evident. The video is perfect--the school year is great but Summer is even better!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Skylar and Madden! We are so proud of you.
