Danny Won a Prize!: Third Muddiest Camper in the Torpedo Boys

See for yourself - I can't imagine who won first and second places.

Also, both Danny and Matty have gotten their first badges for horse riding.  (!!!)

She Still Came!

Gratitude

One of Danny's teachers is retiring this year - not his main teacher, Mr. Lin, but the other teacher in his class - Mrs. Smith.  Mr. Lin is the main teacher in the morning class with Mrs. Smith as backup; Mrs. Smith teaches the afternoon kids while Mr. Lin is the second teacher to them.

Today, on the last day of school, both the AM and PM classes were finishing up the year - all 48 of them were sitting in the room five minutes before the end of the year.  Mr. Lin said to all the kids, "Does anyone have anything they are thankful for - for Mrs. Smith?"

Our Danny raised his hand right up, and was called upon first:

"Thank you, Mrs. Smith, for helping me in Center (when they sat around a table and focused on reading and writing)."

Honestly, you could have told me I won a million dollars.  That's my kid - filled with gratitude, and not shy about it.  Nothing could have made me prouder.

So now we have a First Grader...!

Danny Reads!

It was Pete the Cat Goes to the Beach.
