School Year for 2012 Coming To An End!

It's here ~ May madness! The school year is wrapping up. A lot of firsts! Jordan's first year of preschool, Cooper's first year in kindergarten, and Braedyn's first year at a new school, Hillsborough Elementary.

First day of school! This year flew by!

We couldn't have been more pleased with our move to this new year round school. We absolutely love the school and the staff. Most of all the schedule! The boys have made such strides in their education. I love their passion for learning!
Braedyn worked his butt off  after finding out this school was ahead of where he was at. He was in the bottom level reading group at the beginning of the year (you might have an idea now why we switched) (no challenge) and now he is one of the top 3 readers in his class and is leading reading groups. His teacher has him helping kids in his class. I feel quite lucky that I can just tell him to go  do his homework and all I have to do is check it, but sad when it came to fractions and he needed help, I said you need to have your dad help you out with that! Oh things to come, I hope he pays good attention in Math because momma can't help you out with that. I know how to balance my checkbook and that's about it! They did practice EOG's to wrap up the year. They really stress the kids out with EOG's here. He has a made a lot of new friends at his new school and tells me daily how much he likes it there. Onto 3rd grade next year! Wow, weird to say that!

Cooper and his teacher Ms. Spence

Cooper's kindergarten year was great! He loves school! However, he does not enjoy getting up in the morning. He takes after his momma! His reading amazes me. These days they really start early! He had a lot of fun and his teacher was great and so enthusiastic! I helped out when I could and he has made some great friends. They just wrapped up a play which I have posted here it is in two parts....It was the Princess and the Pea. He was a Very Cute Prince! He had his kindergarten wrap up and "graduation" a couple weeks ago. I shed a few tears because I can't believe how fast it goes! I do miss having him at home. He will be into 1st grade and again Wow!

They will be doing their field days on June 4th and Jordan and I are going to help out. Their last day of school is June 7th which is a half day and they go back July 16th.  It will go fast!
Jordan had his first year of 2's preschool. He loves Ms. Melissa and Ms. Betty. He gets excited on school mornings. He enjoys it but also enjoy his alone time with mommy. It was also nice for me to get a couple days a week to myself in the mornings while he was at preschool. His last day of preschool is May 30th. So he will have a couple more weeks just with mom before the boys are out. He will be in the 3's preschool class next year twice a week.  Here's Jordan singing his ABC's he missed a couple letters:) I can't figure out how to save to my computer...you have to log into facebook...

We are looking forward to having a break and no more driving back and forth and getting up early!
