I now have a 3rd grader and a kindergartner. It seems like school was never going to end with all the added saturday schools and minutes added to each day. But it really went by so fast when you think of the fact that in 12 short weeks or so Joel will be going to school too.
Colin LOVED LOVED LOVED second grade. He couldnt wait to get to school each day and loved his teacher and class. I was talking to a mom of one of the kids in his class today and we were both so impressed by his teacher and all that they did in class and hoping that 3rd grade is just as great. Colin was so proud of the display he made of Giant Squid. He did all the research himself and has been spouting enough facts of giant squid that makes me not want to swim out in the middle of the ocean. EVER.
They did an econonomics study and each had to either make something or provide a service and then one day they went around and bartered for money/goods. Colin was going to teach basketball lessons and came home and said that he only taught 3 lessons - and one of those lessons was a pity lesson according to Colin. poor thing but the great thing about Colin is that it didnt bother him at all. But then we saw his sign and maybe he needs to reduce his price for a first time basketball coach.
He also came home with this award in which the mother in me is proud but the math teacher in me was beaming! so proud of my boy!
When he came home from school on the last day Joel and Norah and I were waiting in the backyard for him. We heard the bus and all hid (well NOrah followed me around and then tried to go to JOel so Joel was yelling that she was giving away his position....) But Colins excitement was really fun to hear as he read the note then came back to find us.
