First Grade Finale

For some reason it so much harder for me to see Finn graduate first grade then Kindergarten. It is hard to swallow that he will be a 2nd grader next year.  Second grade is big time.  Time really does fly when you have kids.  Finn had a great first grade year.  It was a little tough for him in the beginning not having any close friends in his class and he struggled a little bit with his anxiety, but all of those things didn't matter by the end of the year.  Finn made a couple of really close friends this year and really excelled at academics. Finn's school put on a first grade show at the end of the year singing songs about all of the things that they learned about this year.  It was super cute.  Finn's class had an end of yera donut party where teh kids were given awards.  Finn received the Milky Way award for being "Out of this World."  It's sad to see the end of a great school yera, but we are so happy to spend all summer together.
