Lovell Elementary Fun Day

My kids absolutely love "Fun Day". They hold this during the last week of school, typically the day before school gets out. The kids go around as grades and do fun activities and compete against the other classes. Carter and I volunteered to help and we got to do the relay races. It was fun. Carter had a good time hanging out with Maddie and being a 'big' kid. We then got to eat lunch with the school and the school kids went to an afternoon movie at the Hyart. Carter was sure mad we didn't sign up to do that as well, but I had some work I needed to get done. Here are some action shots from the day.
Adessa had a great 1st grade year with Mrs. Morrison. She grew so much as a reader and became more confident in herself. She is also very good at writing and doing math. I rarely had to remind her to do her homework or even help her. I would check her work and few and far between she would have to correct something. She loved Mrs. Morrison and it showed. She loved school. She worked her way through all 6 phonics books a goal she made in March. She has Mrs. Strom next year and is looking forward to another great year!!



Brenden had Mrs. J. May for 3rd grade. He has always been Mr. School. He likes all subjects but showed more interest in science this year. He rarely got below a 98 on a math test. He needed to work more on writing with imagination and feelings but got the hang of it. He is very literal and likes rules. He made a cool simple-machine project with his buddy Mejya. The only thing I had to fight him on was his reading log. Not that he didn't like to read, he didn't like filling it out, and complained every month! He did great and also grew as a person. He did well participating in basketball and football and seemed to enjoy them. He has gotten Mrs. Winland next year and we are excited for the year.




Carter finished VIP preschool and had a great year. He is writing most of his letters, recognizing his letters, and is right where he needs to be. He did very well on his Kindergarten screen and is ready to go, although I am slightly hesitant...he is my baby. We received a letter and he has gotten Mrs. Tillett for his teacher next year. He can hardly wait! He is very excited. Here is to another great summer and school year!!
