You recently started at Elsmere Elementary School in Delmar, NY. Your 1st grade teacher is Mrs. Baldwin. When we moved to Delmar we expected you to go to Hammergrael based on the geography, but it was full. So far we’ve been to the new student’s night, open house (mom attended), helped out with the garage sale fundraiser, been to two of your classmates (Connor and David) birthday parties, and you’ve had an original collection of lego creations on view in the display case outside the principle’s office.
Y Camp
What do you do during your first free summer? Y Camp. When we returned from summer vacation on Cape Cod you started at your summer camp. Full days of activities, sports, and swimming, with a field-trip every Wednesday. Some of the field-trips were roller skating, water park, and lake camp. Boy, were you tired your first few days and that first weekend. Toward the end of the summer the experience got a little repetitive and you seemed to get bored with it.
Indoor Kid
“I’m Your Indoor Kid!”
Last Day of Kindergarten
It’s been quite a year for you in this first year of school. Lots of learning about reading, writing, math, physical education, and making new friends. Mrs. Schuler, your teacher, was encouraging, but needed greater control over the classroom. You made improvements from the beginning of the year. One item we will be working on this summer is listening skills. Some of the friends you made this year were bron, dante, james, emma, kaliegh, and ari.
On this last day, a monday, mom and I picked you up at lunch time. We had lunch in downtown Sarasota and then went to see Kung Fu Panda 2. Not only the sequel to Kung Fu Panda, but the sequel to the first movie you ever saw in the theater.
Lego Pizza Party
A lego pizza party with Mr. Mixon, the science teacher. How cool does that sound? Alright, maybe by the time you read this it might not seem that cool, but right now during your lego phase, it’s pretty cool. As a result of Mom and Dad winning this event in the silent auction you got to have a private lego party with Mr. Mixon and three friend after school. You invited Caleb and Dillion, also known as the twins, and Bron. BTW, you were not making pizza from legos. You were eating pizza and building other things with legos, at least that was what was advertised. I think you ended up playing with all kinds of toys and watching a movie. According to Mom’s analysis of the event, Mr. Mixon had the most fun.
