C's Poetry Picnic

The entire first grade presented a Poetry Picnic for family members today.  They sang songs and recited poetry; then we spent some time outside together.  It was great.  I'm so proud of C; he always does his best in school and he is a great student. 

Sun in our eyes!

I really love the book of poems he wrote over the school year.  Here is the dedication inside the book:

C has had a wonderful school year!  We are so proud of him.
