A First Grade Improvement

Yesterday was the last day of school for Mallorie and Cade. With the exception of Mallorie missing her senior friends, both are looking forward to summer vacation.

Cade came home with his bookbag full of stuff. I think every piece of paper from the 1st grade followed him home! While I sat sorting out what I wanted to keep for his scrapbook, I came across these two gems.

Here's a picture of Cade taken within the first few days of 1st grade. His teacher had them write something.

And here is the exact same assignment given last month. (Don't pay any attention to the lack of spelling. While Cade had spelling words and tests every week, they do not focus on spelling when the kids are writing. Ideas and structure are more important.)
