Last Day of School

This, like so many other post, is long over due!  We are 2 weeks into summer and it is already flying. 

Alexandra had such a fabulous kindergarten year! I can't believe how fast it went by. We absolutely loved her teacher, Miss Krueger. I was lucky enough to be able to volunteer in the class room once a week so I was able to get to know each child and really get to know Miss Krueger. 

Alexandra just thrived at school. She is reading well beyond her grade level so I'm making sure we keep reading over the summer. 

Alexandra made so many sweet friends this year. I have just loved all of the kids and parents from her class. We had hopes that her class would loop since several kindergarten classes do that at her school. (Looping is where the kids and teacher stay together from K to first grade so they already have a relationship, the teacher can get right back to teaching since she has first hand knowledge of their levels and they know all of the class rules and expectations.)  Miss Krueger warned us over Christmas break that she and her boyfriend (who loves in Louisiana) were getting serious and looking at their next steps for the future and sure enough, they became engaged this spring. We were so happy for her but a little sad at the fact we knew the class would not be looping with her.  So this summer our beloved Miss Krueger is moving to Louisiana. Happy and sad. 

Knowing she was leaving made the last day of school a little harder. Alexandra was very sad she won't see Miss Krueger next year but we've promised her she can email, text or write her letters any time she wants. 

My girl is excited and a little nervous for 1st grade. She is worried she won't know anyone in her class. I assured her between her 15 other classmates and friends she made in the other 5 kindergarten classes there is a very good chance she will know at least one other person in her class. Now we are just waiting until mid August to see who her teacher will be. Miss Krueger taught 1st grade at our school for 6 years and loves every single 1st grade teacher and said we can't go wrong with any of them so it relaxes this mommys mind a little!
