Another school year is done and Peyton had an great year in first grade. His reading and writing improved immensley just in one school year. Mrs. Hayes was awesome, we will really miss her. She was the perfect balance of stern and sweet. I just got his last report card in the mail yesterday and we are so proud of him. He met every single standard as well as scoring well above the standards. He had perfect attendance, not missing a single day and never was tardy. We were lucky this winter health wise. Mrs Hayes' last comments were: "It was been a pleasure teaching Peyton this year. He is very expressive and willing to share and relate to whatever it is that we are reading about or learning. Keep him reading fiction and non-fiction everyday. Have a fun filled summer! Take some great hikes and go camping."
I hope to keep him busy with some home "summer school" so he doesn't lose his academic momentum in the next couple months. I ordered the two work books that his 2nd grade teacher suggested for over the summer and I'm making some flash cards with the 2nd grade sight words/vocab/spelling words that she suggested that we will work on daily. I've also challenged Peyton to see how many chapter books he can get under his belt for the summer which he is excited about. My competitive boy...
