Bitter Sweet

"How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard" - so true! The past two years we were blessed to have an amazing teacher in Kynzley's life! Yesterday, we said our farewells to the school year, to first grade and to an incredible lady who has taught Kynzley so much the last two years. It was a bitter sweet day - we are excited for summer, but sad to leave our comfort zone.

When Kynzley entered kindergarten she was placed in what is called a 'looping' classroom. She stayed with the same teacher and same students through kindergarten as well as first grade. There are many benefits to this and each parent has their reason as to why they want their child placed in this style of class. We couldn't have asked for a better situation for our family and for Kynzley! Not only did she make great and close friends, the parents became close as well.
The kiddos were so lucky!!! Their teacher, Mrs. Antony, not only cared for them as a class, but each of them as individuals. Each one of the students were (are still!) loved!!!! The last couple of weeks have been difficult knowing this day was coming. The school district has great teachers and great students and we know Kynzley will continue to strive as the years go on, it was just sad knowing that "our family" that we have had the last two years will all be separated.

The last week of school was filled with lots of fun activities! The kids enjoyed a couple local parks and an ice cream party in their classroom. It was fun to be able to capture some of the last memories with the kids!

Miss J! She was their student teacher in kindergarten :-)

To cheer things up a bit, we took the boat out after school to welcome summer! We had a ton of fun tubing and swimming!
