Packer had his last Day of school yesterday!! I think he was happy to be done for the summer. He behaves really well but he doesn’t LOVE the learning like his older brother. He did learn most of his letters and CAN right his name – just barely. He has a short attention span for reading and writing. His thing is still ART – any project is fun for him and any excuse to get out the scissors, tape or markers is jumped on. In fact he is at the table right now making a creation with leftover popcorn and glue. Packer grew 2 inches and gained 3 pounds during the school year.

the door is not pretty but you can see those 2 inches cause his head is almost to the deadbolt 🙂

I love these pictures I got of my Packer Man – SOO CUTE! I’m not sure when he became such a poser…

no more school!

see ya in kindergarten!

Benji’s Dance Festival

May 25, 2012 admin 1 Comment

We went to the Manila Elementary Dance Festival this morning. Benji was excited to do the first grade songs from Mary Poppins. He did Step in Time and Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious – no I’m not sure that I spelled that right – you’ll have to look on Benji’s shirt and see. Benji really enjoys dancing. He was fun to watch. I am STILL not good at putting video on the blog so you just get the still shot of him before the performance:

Benji and the first grade boys! He is friends with Truman and Isaac, the others I don't know.

ODE TO MISS MYNTTI

Benji has loved his first years of school. Miss Myntti was his teacher both years and he really excelled under her wing. She taught him how to read and write. He got all the way to chapter books this year. He passed his addition and subtraction math tables just before the end of the year. Benji loves learning and Miss Myntti made it fun for him. He never wanted to miss school. Never tried to stay home. He went willingly every day! Good job Benji and Thank You Miss Myntti.
