First Grade Field Trip

I was lucky enough to be drawn for the class chaperone for Ryland's first grade field trip.  Each class could only bring two, so I was thrilled to be a part of this fun day.  We headed to Denton to visit the Elm Fork Education Center. It was a day full of activities and fun on UNT's campus. We learned about all sorts of animals, and it was a great opportunity to explore.  We had a blast!

Flower for Mrs. Evans

Ryland's teacher, Mrs. Evans, was selected as the Old Union Elem Teacher of the Year.  Today, the students were asked to bring Mrs. Evans a flower to celebrate her.  Ryland picked white azaleas out of our flower bed that had one pink bloom.  It was a special gift for his special teacher.

Ryland's Teacher Conference

I always love to hear how wonderful my kids are doing in school.  Today, I met with Ryland's teacher for the annual conference.  We spoke about how Ryland is doing in the class and where he falls with the expectations of the district.  Of course, he is exceeding expectations academically, and he is a class favorite.  Mrs. Evans filled me in on how kind and sweet Ryland is to everyone in his class.  He is a genuine boy that cares about his classmates.  My heart is so full!

Ryland starts 1st Grade

Every new year and major milestone make it obvious that time is flying.  I can't believe that my little baby boy has gotten so big.  Ryland is off to First Grade at Old Union.  He was excited and looking forward to seeing his friends.

Reed was excited as well.  He was thrilled that his bossy brother was out of the house.

Ridley just giggled and said "Bye bye".
