Last Day of 1st Grade

Teacher: Miss Moulten

Favorite Subject: Math

Lunch: Home lunch consisting of peanut butter and honey sandwich everyday!

Best friends at school: Fay, Taylee, Tatum and Adalyn

Favorite thing about 1st grade: Love my teacher. Staying all day and eating lunch at school and reading. The librarian was one of her favorite people.

Worst thing about 1st grade: forgetting to bring home lunch

(in Shay's words It was the most frustrating!)

Accomplishments: Memorized a Martin Luther King Speech, Met AR goals, Survived 1st year in PAL program.

Shay loved 1st grade and is super excited to go back for 2cd grade. She gets her same teacher for 2cd grade so that helps the anxiety of the unknown. We overcame some fears. When she would forget school lunch she became very worried she would throw up. This fear came from the one time she bit into a chicken sandwich and it tasted funny so she almost threw up. She would call me panicked when she forgot her lunch bag in the car. Begging me to bring her lunch. By the end of the year she was able to try school lunch again if she had to. This year she also found a LOVE for reading. She would read at least an hour everyday. She loved finishing her fairy books in one day. The days she only had time for 20 minutes of reading time she was frustrated. I can't believe the year is over, but we are excited for summer!

Happy Birthday Addison!

Addie turned 2! She loves Minnie Mouse so we had a Minnie birthday. We started with a family party on Sunday. We had my family over for dinner. She loved opening her presents and was so excited with each one. She was so polite saying "thank you" to everyone. She loved blowing out her candles. I made "mini" cupcakes and we had "mini" ice cream cones.

I found this on Etsy.

When she woke up the next morning she was so excited to have presents again. When she opened all of them she looked at me and said "where they go mama?". She wanted more. She loves her little play house. She can ring the door bell and open the door, what more could a 2 year old want. That night we had Dale's family over to celebrate. She just smiled when it was time to sing and open more presents!
