E's last day at Littlewood

Today was Elijah's last day as a kindergartner at Littlewood. He has had a wonderful time, growing in so many ways this year. On of his favorite school activities has been the Morning Mile, where the kids get to walk or jog before school starts. They keep track of the number of laps they run each morning. E ran over 150 miles just during the morning mile!! Even after a small accident yesterday kept us at the ER until (little cut on the head = lots and lots of blood, but turned out to be not a big deal), he still got up early enough to get out there and make it around one last time.

His last day in Ms. Kelly's class was highlighted by a pizza party, where he and Ms. Kelly enjoyed a vegan pizza of her own making. E has really enjoyed being in her class, and I've loved her teaching and management style. The fact that she's all knowing about food allergies and what E can and can't have was a special bonus :-)

E also enjoyed his time at the afterschool program at Littlewood. It was a little rough at first, being with the big kids. Soon though E found his courage and made friends of all ages.

As for me, I only have a few more things to do as treasurer of the PTA, then I suppose it will be time to say goodbye. We bought our house right next to Littlewood, knowing it was one of the best schools in Gainesville, and we certainly haven't been disappointed. I only wish we could have spent more time here, but hopefully we'll find a great school for the boys in Wilmington.
