Brayden's last day of first grade is tomorrow. This year has flown by so fast. He did awesome this year in school. It's so amazing how much he learned and how much he has progressed since he started the school year.
He is a great reader... he is reading on a 3rd grade level! I wouldn't say he "loves" to read, because I usually have to make him do his reading, but he has gotten really good at it. He is his daddy's little boy too because he is awesome at math! He was doing 3rd grade math facts by the end of the school year. At his school's award ceremony, he got an award for his Math Facts and passing his "Principal's Challenge" which is where they get to go to the Principal's office and they have a certain amount of math problems to do during a time limit, and if you get 100% you've passed the challenge. He did this several times for addition and subtraction for each grade level he passed.
Way to go bud!
Also during this last week of school, his teacher had the parents come in for a small party and we could see all the progress the kids have made over the school year in their writing. It was fun to see all the journals Brayden has written in over the year. His writing and spelling have most definitely improved over the school year! It was so cute to see how he tried to spell words on his own and the pictures he drew to with it. One of the latest projects they did was to write a book. Brayden loves to write and make up stories. He even has a little "journal" (which is just a small notepad) that he would write stories and draw pictures and stuff in. He wrote this chapter book for his project about him and his friends going back in time and turning into dinosaurs.
He did a really good job on it.
Landon and Conner got to come see Brayden's books too... Brayden sure loves his baby brother!
Thanks to Brayden's awesome teacher, Mrs. Drew, he did so well this year! He really enjoyed being in her class and I am amazed at how much she taught him. Thanks Mrs. Drew.... we sure are going to miss you!!!
Now just 3 weeks and he'll be off to 2nd grade! WOW!! And Conner will be off to Kindergarten. Oh my, I'm not sure I'm ready to have 2 of my 3 kids in school!

I'm excited for my 2 rowdy boys to start school. I can't wait to have some peace and quiet for a few hours every day.
Jaron also loved Laura as his teacher. He wrote his book on space and still reads it. She really should stick around until our kindergartners are done with 1st grade.
I think you will get used to it really fast- except for the constant running back and forth. At least I think you will probably be able to work our a little carpooling!! ( Hint, hint, to kati). It's hard to have them grow up so fast though.
Sounds like he should just skip 2nd grade!
Way to go Brayden!! Smart little boy. I can't believe he will be in 2nd grade! Time sure passes us by.
Way to go Brayden!!
Ms. Drew sounds like and awesome teacher. Too bad she's leaving.
