Wow, April is here.

Hi.

my boy is now in grade 2.

well, he has been since the beginning of September 2014.

i'm just getting around to telling you.

he LOVES school.

He has a phenomenal teacher.

he has had one each and every year so far, and for that i'm extremely thankful.

i kind of asked for this teacher this year.

i wasn't going to do that but at the end of last year i wanted him with this grade 2 teacher.

his spectacular teacher from last year wasn't going to be grade 1-2 this year... just 1s.

so when i discovered she wouldn't be his teacher i asked her if there would be some way he could have this teacher.  she said she could put in a good word for this suggestion.

He loves his teacher.

back in December he made his teacher a card.

*wish i had a photo of it*

it said Thank you for being my teacher.

and he drew a picture of his teacher doing something he loves to do - bird watching.

he brought it to school the next day - even though it was a snow day.

he thinks his teacher is funny.

my husband and i went for the parent-teacher interview and had a great chat.

our boy loves to read, to do math, to learn.

and his teacher says it is obvious.

it was a good chat.

i still volunteer in the library once a week - tuesdays this year.

and i head to my boy's class and pick him up.

he still loves coming to have lunch with me and read books.

he picks out a book as soon as he comes in the library and we read.

he has some good friends in his class again.

he has moved seats at least 4 times.

i asked him one time why he kept getting moved.

"i don't know mom.  i'm not bad, i think it's funny."

he thinks it may be that the people he sits with speak too much.

(i'm sure he's chatting too)

He loves everything about school.

he enjoys going each day.

he finished a book he was writing in class that's all about him.

i'm excited to read it as he's been telling me about it.

he doesn't know when it will come home but he has loved making it.

i have loved experiencing grade 2 with my boy.

i love that school has been such a positive for him so far.

i continually pray for him and what he learns at school.

who he befriends.

love this kid.
