Last Day of School

Today was the last day of first grade.


Emily is excited for the summer off, but says she will miss her teacher. First grade was an adjustment as the kids transitioned from the more playful environment of Kindergarten to the more business-like first grade. There were times, at first, when Emily seemed not to like all of the work, gym class, etc., but she has grown into a good student.

Emily will be attending a summer camp at the same place where she went to preschool, and where Adam goes now. I know she's excited about all the different activities, especially for the days when the school-age kids get to read books and play with the smaller kids. Amy and I are happy that we have only one morning and afternoon stop to make.
