This was a big "growing up" year for little Isabelle. She learned words we wish she hadn't. She heard stories we wish she hadn't. She watched friends be mean to one another and tease others. Boys started being a little different than just your normal friends and we had to answer a few tough questions. We know that we cannot always keep her young and innocent but we are doing our best to try.
Academically this was another stellar year for our brainiac. She excelled in all areas and was even selected to represent her school in academic competitions. She continued to love to read and write and was the best speller in the class. She loved P.E. as usual and was the first girl in 2nd grade to qualify for her colored running charms. She learned to play chess in Chess Club and always looked forward to GT with Mrs Karamath. Mrs. Steed was the perfect mix of academic and fun and was beloved by every student in her class. She read with great voices during snack time, ran her class with an economy where Belle was the librarian and had to pay rent to use her desk and made even boring things exciting. She danced with the kids during video announcements and cried as the students left her on the last day of class. I was Mrs Steed's "Wednesday Helper" all year and I loved seeing her and the kids having so much fun learning each week.
Although I cannot believe our Jelly is prepped to move to 3rd grade, I know she is ready and I expect will thrive there as well. For now, we are going to read books together every night and squeeze our growing babe a little tighter each day as we enjoy the summer.
