Jack's Last Day of School

Thursday, June 2nd was Jack's last day of school.  First grade is in the bag.  Jack was sad that the school year had to come to an end; he absolutely loved his teacher, his class, and almost everything about first grade.

Here is Jack on his first day of first grade:

 

And here is Jack on his last day of first grade:

 

He grew 3 inches during the school year, and lost a few teeth along the way.

Ms. Ross and Mrs. Weinke were both incredible teachers.  Ms. Ross really got to know Jack and always made him feel so special.  He is convinced that he was her favorite student!  The first day of summer, Jack woke up and said, "I already miss Ms. Ross."  If he could only convince her to teach second grade....

The highlight of the year was the Bugz play.  He loved all of the rehearsing and the performances for school and parents.  I'm pretty sure that we'll be saying, "I'm a maggot!" for a long time around here.

It was a great year, and we can't wait to see what second grade has in store for Jack!
