Goodbye 1st Grade!!

Today was Madison's end of the year party for first grade. She only has a 1/2 day left, and really that is just to get her report card. Mrs. Pellerin has done a fantastic job with Madison this year!! Madison is reading, doing math, spelling, etc... We are just plain shocked at how far Madison has come in such a short time...

This is Madison's class plus Evan...

Mrs. Pellerin gave the kids' a pizza party today, I brought the cupcakes, and awards were handed out!! (Madison got the Deep Thinker Award) It was a very nice way to softly say goodbye...


Being room Mom I arrived early while the class was discussing next year. Most of the kiddos are very upset to be leaving Mrs. Pellerin, and quite scared to move on to second grade! You see Mrs. Pellerin is one of those unique teachers who not only uses love, and smarts to teach, but a TON of FUN... The kids know there will never be another Mrs. Pellerin, or as Madison called her on the first day of school Mrs. Pellican!! And Evan always called her "Pellerin". They have seen the second grade teachers around the school, and know that next year will be different, they will be expected to do more things, be more mature, and act better than they acted this year. I never thought I would be sad to say goodbye to Mrs. Pellerin, and to first grade, but I am.

So long first grade, so long Mrs. Pellerin we are forever in your debt for making Madison a better person, and a better student!!! Thank You!!!!!
