End of kindergarten

School's out for the summer! What a kindergarten year Connor had. It was a year of tremendous growth and learning. After a somewhat rocky start, he figured things out with the help of a great support team, and ended on a super strong note, well positioned for FIRST GRADE! His final report card showed such improvement, especially behaviorally, that I literally wept with joy. And his academics were strong throughout the year. I am so proud of how hard Connor worked this year; what a great kid!

Here he is on the first day of kindergarten:
And on the last day:
We had an end-of-the-year picnic on the last day of school. He said goodbye to those who had a big impact on his school year. His teacher, Mrs. Prough:

His long-term sub, Mrs. Wingfield, who taught for 3 1/2 months during Mrs. Prough's maternity leave:
And Mrs. Claypool, his special education teacher:
Surrounded by siblings, friends and teachers:
