Erin has grown so much over the last year and while I find that I'm still the most worried for her compared to her sisters, I know she'll be just fine. I feel like the teacher she has this year is a great fit for her and I'm looking forward to seeing how the year unfolds. My hope for her this year is that she gains more confidence and learns how powerful and smart she truly is.

A vet!
Halle is as ready as ever and said that "now that I know Mrs. Harris, I'm not scared or worried or anything, just excited!!" - that could not be more true. This kid amazes me with her confidence and genuine spirit. She is still someone people underestimate, and I love that about her. Always full of surprises!! My hope for her this year is that she helps those kids around her who may need a boost - she is a great friend. She seems to be a social influencer and I hope she uses that power for good.

What do you want to be when you grow up?
An Astronaut
Lia seems to be less anxious this year, but still has dashes of when her nerves gets the best of her. She was a mess going into kinder and 1st, so this is a fabulous change. She seems more ready and just plain grown up. TIME NEEDS TO STOP!! This summer we have seen amazing maturity from her and I know she is ready for whatever 2nd grade brings. My hope for her this year is that she makes some good friends who love her and see how amazing she is.
First and Second graders!! Let's do this!!
