MICHIGAN MANNS: End of the year wrap up.

Kate's end of the year production, "The Color Factory"

was so cute, Kate memorized all song's her part plus extras just in case the people didn't come.

She is beyond over achiever she is FABULOUS!!!

She's my girl, This is Lexie, they became friends the first day of school, they held hands walking to and from recess, school, lunch, anytime they could, they are the best of friends, I couldn't be happier She is a GOOD GIRL!!! plus she has two brothers who are Ethan's age, who play all sports and can keep up with him. The whole family is an awesome package.

Lexie, Kate, and Natalie

I came to love these kids in Kate's class I got to spend Monday and Tuesday afternoons in the classroom and the kiddos are so fun!!!

these three Lexie, Yetzi, and Kate

three amigos

I cry just thinking about this special lady, The last day of school same clothes Bigger Better girl, Mrs. Reed was an answer to prayers, she helped Kate adjust to a New State, New home, New School, New friends, New weather, NEW NEW NEW, Mrs. Reed loved Kate and saw all good in her, her confidence grew, and so did her intelligence, Kate has always been beyond her years and Mrs. reed helped her to know limits and pushing those limits in good and bad. Kate is a strong reader, and art is an important part of her. Mrs. Reed also helped Kate to love science, and math. When asked Kate can't tell you her favorite subject because she is a lover of all things. WHY? because Mrs. Reed taught her to LOVE and BE HAPPY!!! Kate would have opportunities to ditch school or leave early and she wouldn't want to, she loves school. First grade was a great experience!!!

Here is Ethan and Mrs. Ferguson, It was pretty amazing moving to a new place and not knowing anyone to talk teachers with, or even knowing anyone, I enrolled my kids accepted that this year would be a trial year and going from there, I was nervous, I wanted to throw up the first day of school, I hated not knowing how things worked, I didn't even know where the bathrooms were at the school, I hadn't seen Ethan's teacher, and my kids go to two different schools, UGGG, But just like Kate I couldn't have hand picked a better teacher for Ethan, She was very experienced with active boys, She was very concerned with all that Ethan did, at home and school, I will brag She said Ethan was her hardest worker, and always did a great job, she even said at the beginning of the year he was getting kind of bullied for being smart, Ethan never said anything but she took care of it, really my kid smart? it must be the Nate in him. Ethan took no time at all to make friends, I feel like a celebrity when I am with him, because mom's will come up to me, your Ethan's mom, my son talks about him all the time, Hes the best soccer player, and random people I don't know calling for play dates, WHAT??? Ethan is awesome!!! Mrs. Ferguson did a great job getting Ethan ready for 4th grade!!!
