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)
