New Beginnings

Devlyn's class had their end of year party today.  There was a Hawaiian theme and a "red carpet".  Each student was called up and walked up and down "the carpet" while the teacher read a little bit about what they're looking forward to in 2nd grade.  Devlyn's said he's looking forward to learning about Geology.  Devlyn was recognized as the class "Writing Wizard" this year for his stories.  Charles will love that.  As usual, both teacher's commented on how smart he is : )  So proud of him.  We're headed back up to the school in 15 minutes for "Meet the Teacher" where we'll learn who he'll have for 2nd grade.  Incidentally, ran into his kindergarten teacher from last year in the hallway as we were leaving the party.  I heard she was leaving and asked her where she was headed.  Her husband has been transferred and they're moving to Connecticut.  Of course I had to ask where, never in my wildest dreams imagining what her answer would be.......Newtown.  Hard for me not to make about a million connections in my head after hearing that.  I explained that it's a beautiful area and she'll love it.  What a time to move there as a kindergarten teacher.  Wow.

Time to go learn who Devlyn will have for second grade!
