How is it possible that we have a first grader? Logan did great during his year at Ridgeline Academy. He finished the kindergarten curriculum early in the year, and was put into his own reading group since he outpaced the rest of the class. He finished the first grade math section by the end of the year, they were very kind in giving him individualized homework and groups. He struggled a bit in that he had three different teachers, but loved his first and third teachers. The mom of the little girl in this picture came up to tell me she knew all about Logan because apparently he was her daughter's boyfriend. Logan had no idea what she was talking about.
Logan got a cute little medal for graduation. They had a cute little singing program, Logan is the one with the blue argyle shirt in the video below. It was actually a cute, but bittersweet graduation. One of the little girl's fathers was a cop that was killed in the line of duty three days before graduation. So three hundred officers showed up to support her. It was so, so sad. I cried when the little girl got the standing ovation. The press was out in force, so our family was on the front page of the Arizona Republic webpage for a week.
McKay's graduation was a little more simplistic. They had a water party! He had a great time time at Anthem preschool, and loved his teacher Ms. Shelley. We were thinking of holding McKay back because of his small size and late birthday, but they very strongly suggested we put him in because he was too smart to stay home! I'm sure I will cry when I drop him off in August.
