First Grade Finale!

 WOW! My sweet Brady completed all his 1st grade stuff! We began the week after July 4, 2011 & finished up The first week of April 2012 even with all the breaks we needed to take due to my unexpected call into the Pro-Life Ministry, speaking engagements, traveling, sickness & anything else that came up. I must admit though, it wasn't hard with him, he's naturally smart! We've only been done 2 weeks & he's begging to start up his 2nd grade curriculum!

Here are some pictures I snapped throughout the year of him learning. I try to incorporate different learning styles & ideas as much as possible & always keep learning fun! Some of Brady's favorite things this year were the dinosaur dig, our nature hunts, trying astronaut food, learning to read his Beginner's Bible, & all the fun play dates at the Resource Center.

 I couldn't be more proud of Brady! I'm very blessed to have him as my son! He's very kind & loving to others, he loves to read his Bible & sing to Jesus, he's an amazing big brother, I could seriously go on & on! I am excited to see what 2nd grade brings us!
