Learning As We Go: Last day of school

Yes, I know, school got out a couple weeks ago. The summer is already going too fast!

Cassidy with her 3rd grade teacher Mrs. Hatch. Cassidy had a really good school year and made a lot of progress in reading. I really like Mrs. Hatch. She is so positive and has a lot of patience. She dealt with a lot of difficult children in a very positive way. She was always very sweet with Cassidy and we will miss being in her classroom.

Logan with his Kindergarten teacher Mrs. Adams. He repeated Kindergarten so had her as his teacher twice. I love this lady! She prays for each of her students and I know she has spent some sleepless nights thinking of how to help Logan to succeed. She felt like Logan needed another year in Kindergarten. It was a hard decision but we felt like she was inspired and knew what was best. Logan is now the top of his class and aced all of the end of year testing. She liked to call Logan "Mr. Brains" and "Mr. Muscles". She even rejoiced when she had to tell Logan and Carson to be quiet one day. Logan can be pretty shy at school.

Mrs. Adams has had all of my kids for Kindergarten and each one loved her. She was the first teacher to have to deal with all the districts red tape with getting help for Cassidy. She wasn't afraid to tell the sometimes, rude therapists what she thought and I really appreciated her for that. She even had a prayer with Lorin and I before we headed into the always stressful 504 meeting. She and her husband were some of the first to visit us when Cassidy was in the hospital last time. Her husband is a member of our stake high counsel and he gave me a really wonderful blessing. I have just really appreciated her support. We shed some tears after this picture was taken because there is no more kids from our family to have her as a teacher. I really hope that if there happens to be a little caboose in our family, one day, that Mrs. Adams will still be teaching
