Last Day of School

Today was the last day of school for Lexie and Ashton.  We had a really great year this year.  Lexie learned a lot and got really good grades.  She had a few really good teachers and I think she had a lot of fun as well as learning tons.  Next year she moves to the high school, I shudder just thinking about it.  I can't believe that I have to send my 13-year-old "baby" to school with kids that are potentially 18 years old. But that is a discussion for another day.
Ashton also had a really great year and that is mostly because of this really great lady.....

Mrs Bjork

She really "got" Ashton and helped him to have a really great year.  Last year he starting "hating" school about October and it was not a fun year at all.  I felt so bad for him because I didn't know how to help him, no matter how many times I talked to his teacher she didn't get him and he was bored and frustrated most of the year.  This year was the total opposite.  He felt understood and was engaged in learning most of the year.  She understood his humor and relied on him to do classroom errands because she knew she could count on him to do what she had asked.  He also learned a lot and I wish I could clone her and that he could have her as a teacher forever.  She was definitely an answer to prayers.
