Okay....I'm going to admit it. The years are FLYING by. I know they are going to, I know it, but the reality that another year has come and gone and this kid is now a 2nd Grader is amazing. Guys, both my girls are in elementary school! I am no longer a MOPS mom! Say What??!!!??
I just sent this amazing young woman with her Grandma and Grandapa as they head back to Florida. Shes so big, she is so bold, she is so fearless about flying away on adventures. That's my girl!
First grade was amazing for Lily for a lot of reasons. First off, Lily had Ms. Kim Balanoff as her teacher. This woman is spectacular and amazing. Her love for teaching might only be matched by her love for these kids. Lily and Ms. B hit it off because Lily LOVES to learn and ask questions, and Kim LOVES to teach. Its a match made in heaven, and this woman is one of those extra special ones!
The second reason is this woman below. There are some changes on the horizon for RMRE, and one of them is saying goodbye to Mrs. Sarah Collins, the principal. We have loved her and her love for educating and administration is undeniable. This principal knows Lily....even out of hundreds of kids, THAT is amazing. She will be missed.
This year Lily learned a lot about friends and that girls are drama. We had a lot of tears and conversations as Lily began to learn that not all friendships are beneficial, and some take more work than others. That said, Lily had some amazing times with the kids in her class.
Lily's last day was full of fun and parties. Evie and I got to spend an hour in her class playing and saying goodbye to everyone. It was a silly and fun time.
Lily is well on her way to 2nd grade and Bob and I couldn't be prouder or happier for her. She is a smart girl with brilliant ideas and a heart open to knowledge. As Buzz Lightyear would say...."To infinity.....AND BEYOND!
So long First Grade!
