During Garrett's last week of 1st grade they had 'camp week'. They got to have a tent in class, eat lunch in class, each class had their own tie died shirts that they made in a specific color and picked a camp name for their class, and went on a walking field trip that their families could join them for.
Garrett LOVED his teacher Mrs. McMullin, and his whole first grade class.
(we loved her too! she is a fantastic teacher)
On the second to last day of school, they watched a slide show that his teacher had put together with pictures of all the class through out the year. Many of the kids shed tears that first grade was over .... apparently Garrett shed lots of tears. He's not usually very emotional, but I guess he ended up crying for the last 45 min of school after watching the video and couldn't even be coaxed to play a game.
Poor guy! When we got home he just kept his backpack on, he wasn't sure he wanted to move on to second grade and be in a different class with different kids and a new teacher. But he was able to sleep on it
and the last day of school was field day and he had tons of fun!
I'm glad that he loved 1st grade so much and we saw him make lots of improvement through out the year. He did so well in school, it was amazing to see how much he learned.
I hope he'll love 2nd grade just as much.
