age: 7 (8 in the new year)
year in school: 4
grade: 2
class: 2s only
ok, i'm finally writing this in March 2017...
um,
in case you missed it,
the school year actually began in September 2016.
i'm a little behind.
oh well.
my little one.
my girl.
so full of life and love.
She could not have been happier when she found out her teacher.
unless she had the chance to stay with her gr. 1 teacher of course
She had the same teacher that her brother had when he was in grade 2.
she is still at the age that it is exciting to follow your brother through the teachers.
*i remember grade 4 being so exciting to have a teacher that didn't already know my brother*
She has enjoyed this school year.
a class full of friends.
a crazy, excited class, full of energy.
for a girl who is full of energy that is perfect for her.
she loves reading, writing, art, music, drama and math.
she likes gym.
she loves to learn new things.
she loves that her teacher is an avid birdwatcher.
she loves to see birds and be able to tell him what she saw.
side note:
a chicadee landed on her finger recently and all she could talk about was how she would get to tell her teacher all about it.
then she laughed ,as she went on and on about the bird, and said, "i'm just like Mr. G, talking about birds all the time!"
My little one enjoys going to school in the mornings.
but she also love the weekends.
She always comes home with stories about her friends, the teachers, different activities they did.
she loves to share what she's learned.
she has had a few struggles in the friendship department.
girls.
gah!
girls and their girl-ness.
friends one moment...
not anymore...
not unless you...
ok, we can be friends again...
why are you playing with her and not me...
i'll give you this if you,,,
we have walked this road with her this year.
she has come home upset, mad, thinking it's silly.
we pray about it.
we discuss what can be done.
we make choices with our girl to walk this road called life together.
she is strong.
she wants to be friends with who she wants to.
she doesn't want the drama that some people bring to life.
but, she also wants people to like her.
she doesn't like to be manipulated...
but she kinda wants that thing they're offering.
she has been growing a lot this year on the social side of life.
her school work is great.
she is still learning a lot from her teacher, and the other teachers who do classes with her.
she loves social studies.
i seriously think it's a favourite this year.
my girl.
you are on March Break.
you will be 8 tomorrow,
and i'm excited to see how strong you finish off your grade 2 year.
keep being you,
with your contagious personality,
with your unique sense of style,
with your love for God and others.
