I don't think there's ever been a more anticipated end of the school year as this one. Between remote learning/teaching for all four of us in the fall to hybrid for the boys to being back in our buildings for the second half of the school year, it was a journey. And that's putting it lightly.
Evan finished 2nd grade with Mrs. Barlow and did amazing all year! He really rolled with all the punches this year threw at him. He finished with all 4's (the equivalent of all A's on the traditional grading scale). He rocked his NWEA tests and wowed Mrs. Barlow all year long with his writing and math skills. We're so proud of his progress!
Sean finished strong with 4th grade and Mrs. Nicklay. It was definitely a tough start to the year for him as remote learning was not a good situation for him. He's a hands on learner and needs that face-to-face instruction, but he did his very best. Social studies is his strong suit and he enjoyed learning the states and capitals this year. They did a "Shark Tank" project to end the year and he made a food allergy caddy. We're so proud of how hard he worked this year and how much he became an advocate for himself and for his learning!
I finished one of the hardest years of my career, #15. So, so glad that's over. I had celebrated with my department earlier in the week out at Las Palapas for our annual department dinner. The staff thanked our administration in our last staff meeting zoom meeting by making thank you signs for them and we brought them to tears. What a year!
We celebrated as a family by grabbing beers at Liberty Street Brewing in old downtown Plymouth even though Scott's wasn't officially done until the following Tuesday. The kids swam at Jameson's house. It was a good night and a great way to kick off the summer!
Tuesday came and we celebrated with Scott! Happy summer! Let's go!!
