This past school year has been such an amazing year. For the first time you really enjoyed going to school. The biggest deal was of course getting TWO teachers. You thrived in this situation and the days went so fast for you. You found out your favorite subject is math and you proved to be excellent at it! During the first benchmark you were the only one in second grade to get a perfect 100%. Daddy and I were so very proud of you and so were your teachers. You had a special lunch with your math teacher, a pass to the treasure tower, and a lunch buddy pass! You quickly became known as the math wiz in your class and Ms. Krantz always used your papers as the example.
Another blessing came with the meeting of your best friend Jerry. The two of you are so much alike and even got to be on the same football team. Every day at recess you told me "Jerry and I decided to just swing and relax today". He is such a sweet boy and we adore having him over. One of the hardest days of this year was the day we found out that Jerry and his family were moving back to their family ranch. My heart broke with yours as we excepted this news. Although the dynamic of the days changed you and Jerry still remained best friends. The two of you remind me of Ms. April and I when we were younger. Although we were separated my a move we still remained best friends and I believe the two of you will always be close.
The biggest difference I saw this year was how excited you were about school. The previous years you did very well, but always admitted your favorite part of the day was going home. You were excelling in all your subjects and having fun at the same time.
I am so thankful I have the opportunity to be up at your school volunteering. I absolutely love seeing you throughout your day. Whether it's in the library or in your classroom or even eating lunch with you...it was one of the best parts of my day.
When the year ended you were given the "Math Wiz" award and also an honor roll award. You had all A's and two B's the entire year! Again, we are so very proud of you. You tried your very hardest all year and it showed. We love you Jack Jack!
The whole world and back again, Mom
