We just got back from picking up Jillise from school. She had a big smile on her face. She got lots of phone numbers and informed me that we will be having LOTS of playdates this summer. And she told me that she did NOT cry. Good girl. :) She got all plusses on her report card and is working above grade level in both math and reading. I'm very proud of her. She has set a high standard for herself that I hope will continue through the rest of her years of school and which will rub off on her siblings.
Here are comparison pictures of the first and last day of school. Jillise was playing "Find 10 Differences" with them. One thing hasn't changed -- the messy yard. Ugh.

It sounds like first grade was a success! And she ended the year with lots of friends, even when she started out not knowing anyone in her class. You can remind her of that next fall if she is disappointed when her BFFs end up in someone else's classroom. It sounds like she is much better able to control her emotions, and she looks quite a bit more grown up than last fall. Maturity is a wonderful thing.

She looks a lot older. I'm sure you didn't want to hear that. Yay for summer! I hope your weather stays nice. Have you read 'The Host' yet?
She DOES look older. Wow...what a difference a year can make! Sounds like she did great on her last day of school! YAY for summer vacation :)
I can't believe how much older she looks! Good job on the report card:) Good luck with all the playdates this summer...
hooray summer! Jillise is such a cute girl -- I'm glad to hear that she had a very happy day!
Congrats! And yes, she does look older. What a cute little girl. I bet you are so excited for summer! I can't believe Joelle and Jacey will be in kindergarten next year! wow.
she looks more confindant in the 2nd picture, still carring lots of stuff and more relaxed.
YEAH!! I am loving summer- other than the bawling from Whitney and Ethan at swimming lessons- Our kids are loving that their bed time is now an hour later. The years go too too fast. Second grade here we come!
I like the game she played what a cute layout idea for me for next year!!! Thanks. Let the summer begin yeah!!!!!
I'm glad her crying prediction was wrong, and she just had a fun last day. I'm going to miss hearing about her day on our drives home. That girl is a sweetie!
she is soooo sweet! bring on the playdates mama!! I LOVE SUMMER TIME!!!!
