School's Out for Summer

 I'm so glad Joshy got Mrs. McDonald this year.  She was Andrew's kindergarten teacher as well.  She had retired the year before, but because class sizes were huge this year, she was hired back on.  She told me that when the principal called her in to talk about coming back, on the drive there she intended to tell Mrs. Miller no.  I'm so glad she didn't!  You can tell that she truly, honestly loves the kids and teaching.  Whenever one of her kids came up to her to tell her something, she'd stop in her tracks, pay attention to him/her and make them feel so special.

Andrew was in a combined 2nd/3rd grade class.  I wasn't super excited about this situation, wasn't sure how it would work.  But Mrs. Fuller handled the task great, she is a very fun, yet strict, teacher and Andrew thrived.  The bonus to having a combined class, the third graders and second graders sat at separate tables.  There were only four third grade boys and they became very close knit friends.
