Second Grade Awards Day

Today was awards day day Hillcrest. We're so proud of Julia for getting A/B Honor Roll for 4th 9 weeks and Principal's Award for Reading. 

Julia also had her first Rising Starz practice today. They learned over half their dance! She said she had so much fun today, I think hope she continues to think that!

The Big Reveal

Class lists were posted at Hillcrest today. I can remember always be excited and anxious to find out who my teacher was going to be and to find out which friends would be in my class. Julia has wanted Mrs. Trawick for second grade since about Christmas, but she got another job at Hillcrest last week and won't be teaching second grade anymore! Julia is excited to be in Mrs. Dear's class, but is more excited about having Tucker, Lexi, David, and Jackson in her class. She already knows lots of friends in her class! Tomorrow is Open House and school starts Friday!

100th Day of First Grade!

Today this sweet girl celebrated the 100th day of school! She was so excited to wake up this morning and not be sick since she was sick on the 100th day of school last year. Unfortunately, her teacher had strep this year and had to miss the festivities!

 Julia's 100 days brighter! 

Everyone had to bring in 100 items today. Julia really wanted to bring in 100 macaroons, but settled for 100 starbursts!

 

 And just to brag on how much brighter Julia is, she has struggled a little bit with reading this year, with AR particularly. She has taken 2 AR tests this week and made a 100 on both of them. So proud of this bright girl!

Parent Visitation

Today was parent visitation for Julia's class. Michael and I both got to go have Thanksgiving lunch with her in the lunchroom. We loved getting to spend some special time with her and I think she loved having us at school with her for a little while.

Silly girls!

Miss Ward's girls!

Ms. Parker!

I got this sweet picture while I was at school today. Ms. Parker, Julia's Kindergarten teacher, was at Hillcrest for training and saw Julia. It made Julia's day! 

Grandparent's Day!

Today was Grandparent's Day at Charlotte's school. Nonny, Nanny, Pop, and GranDi went to school with her this morning. She loved having them there and getting to show them her new school!

Busy Day!

We've had gorgeous weather and a busy day today! 

Ms. Zoey posted these pictures of Charlotte at school today. I love that she has so much fun at school. She is going to be SO sad when Ms. Zoey moves this summer.

After I got both the girls this afternoon we went to the gym. The girls insisted on wearing their workout clothes too!

After the gym we ate dinner and walked over to the ball fields. Julia has been asking to go watch Tucker. Of course he was playing at the field furthest from us! The upside was that we got to watch some more of Julia's friends that we happened upon!

It was a gorgeous afternoon that made me SO ready for summer! Only a few more weeks of school left!

Pancakes & Pajamas

Charlotte celebrated Dr. Seuss's birthday at Small Steps today. They had their traditional PJ & Pancake Day. Charlotte chose her matching Grace PJ's and insisted on taking Grace with her. Mrs. Angela said she was sweet and shared with everyone. Of course no PJ outfit is complete without sparkly shoes and a "fancy" purple bow - even if it doesn't match!

Charlotte painted this cute Cat in the Hat hat at school. It even has her orange and blue hand prints on the front.

Today was a dance day. Charlotte has decided that she loves dance and has made lots of sweet, new friends this year!
