A 1st Grader At Last!






Connor is offically a 1st grader now! His class celebrated a successful year with an end of the year SPLASH! They impressed parents with some choral readings and singing and then finally received a packet full of important papers and a handshake from Mrs. Schlatter. Connor had an incredible kindergarten year (with quite possibly the most incredible teacher). He learned so much academically and grew up a lot socially and emotionally too. Some highlights from the school year...


  • lost two teeth (2 more are very close)


  • became a great reader (and he's figuring out there are all sorts of things he can read everywhere...including the menu at restaurants)


  • found friends other than his big brother to play with at recess...this took him about 2 months to do


  • became quite the writer (even had his rules for playing in the snow/ice read on the announcements)


  • had perfect attendance


  • frequently shared bits of wisdom he learned from school at the supper table


  • declared his mom the best cook in the world


  • shared his love for farming and UNI Panthers with his friends


  • developed a new found love for baseball as he mastered catching and hitting the ball from a pitcher...too bad he has another year of t-ball


  • made some great friends as you can see below (either he has all tall friends or he's a little on the short side...we'll go with tall friends)
