Slow Trek to the Finish

Chase and her teacher on the last day of school.
Notice the lovely face painting from field day.
I did what I could with TEMPORA paint.

We made it to the end of first grade. There were times [sometime around 8 weeks before the end of school] that I had some fear. I scratched my head at some of the decisions that the school was making. And I spent A LOT of time on the phone and at the school.

But despite of all that [or maybe because. we may never really know] Chase made progress by leaps and bounds during those last 2 months of school. [She had an awesome report card and passed all assessments with flying colors.]

I am so proud of her.
