Today we had Jackson's parent teacher conference. He was so excited to go because Daddy was going to his school for the first time. He got to show us his book that he made and worked so hard on. He also showed us his journal that he has been writing in all year. His teacher said that he is doing very well. He has mastered Reading and Math and has gotten 100% on all his spelling tests for this term. We are so proud of you!
We love you Bud!
There is one thing that he has been doing every week for the entire school year that we have not yet shared. Every Tuesday the first graders do the Gold Medal Mile. After they eat lunch they go outside and walk, jog, or run a mile. They do this no matter what the weather is. So most of the year they do this in the snow wearing snow clothes and snow boots. The best part of this is that Jackson is not always satisfied with doing a mile. Most the times he goes 2 miles, sometimes even more. Mommy's last words to him as she drops him off on Tuesday mornings is..."you don't need to do 2 miles, 1 will do." When we pick him up after school the first thing he does is show us his hand. The teacher puts a dot on their hand for every lap they do. He is so excited because he is participating in a race in May which includes all the schools in the district. This race is to finish off the Gold Medal Mile program for this school year.
