second grade: a progress report
Gosh, it’s been busy around here. I feel like I posted six days ago that Connor started school when, in reality, it’s been just shy of two months. P.S. October is going to be over this week. Is this real life?
Connor is seriously rocking second grade. A bit more challenging than first, he’s learning ten new spelling words each week and five more difficult vocabulary words. He takes his spelling tests very.seriously. and so far, he’s aced all of them. In fact, he’s never missed a word on a spelling test. Do I smell a future Jewett School spelling bee champion? He could have his photo in ‘the book’ many pages after his mother who was rockin’ the pegged pants and crimped hair back in the day. Thanks for that style suggestion, Nikki. Ahem. Continue reading

Connor came home today with a very sad face. He announced, “Well, Mom, I didn’t get Student of the Month.” I’d remembered seeing some commentary on Facebook about teachers handing in nominations but otherwise, it wouldn’t have been on my radar. I mean, it isn’t that I think my kid isn’t worthy of such a designation; I just don’t think about it, to be honest. Continue reading

When Connor came home yesterday, he let me know that his class was going to be working on a boat project today. The ask was to find materials at home to send in (and share) so the kids could build boats and test their ability to stay afloat. Continue reading
teachers
I’ve always had an insane amount of respect for teachers. When I was in school, I was scared to death of them. Surely, a teacher could make or break the rest of my life with a failing grade B! I’m kidding. Sort of. Continue reading
he’s a believer
I remember very distinctly when one of my very good friends told me in third grade that a man that visited my house (by way of our chimney) once a year wasn’t real. She was very matter-of-fact about the situation and I? I.was.devastated. Continue reading

first graders gettin’ crazy
it took a really long time to get this pic. i would say, “smile, connor!” and wait. he just sat there like i wasn’t making any sense.
p.s. I left my “real” camera at home on Halloween. To be honest, I’m glad I did as I was able to just truly enjoy a fun holiday with the kiddo.
little mr. studious (yes, i’m bragging)
I was, admittedly, nervous when this school year began. I’m not sure why the transition to first grade seemed like a trip to the moon from kindergarten … but it did. Not only were the kids no longer protected in a separate wing; they had their own mailboxes for crying.out.loud. Continue reading
