First Grade Awards!!!

Jonathan had his First Grade Awards Ceremony this morning. He received all A's this year, so he got a certificate and a medal for the A Honor Roll all year, and he also got a special class award............Most Curious! His teacher really knows him well!!! :-) Nana came to see Jonathan get his awards, and so did Richard...........both made Jonathan really happy.

He had a great year, and I am so thankful that he had such a wonderful teacher. He went from reading a DRA level 14 at the beginning of the year to reading a DRA level 40 at the end. The library program that gives us reading levels so students can choose books on their independent level recorded him at a beginning fourth grade reading level. That's a HUGE improvement in one year, and I truly believe that his teacher did a great job pushing him this year. His math is getting better, too, but he still has to work on focusing and completing his work instead of drawing or talking.............I'm not sure WHERE he gets that from!?!?!!?
