Surprise ice cream party at bus stop to celebrate summer

Rising second grader!!

Addie has completed her first grade year at Arnold Elementary. Ms. Berry is a top notch teacher with wonderfully high expectations to which Addie rose. 

Addie's closest friends at school were Cecilia and Chloe, and she absolutely fell in love with reading this year. She was at home in her Mouse and Mole reading group :-) Her mental math skills amaze me, and she still loves making books. We will continue to work on handwriting because Addie's ideas come out way faster than she can write :-) 

Addie, your ingenuity continues to make me smile and I'm so happy for you the your "gold" friendships with Ella and Zoe have continued and also that you are nicely settled into your new school and friends.

I am so proud of you, and so excited for summer with you!!!
