5th Grade Summary

Bruce has just had the best year this year! He's saying it's the best year he's ever had at school. I totally agree. What a difference a school makes. He has loved that the teachers at his school, and his teacher in particular, smile a lot and are happy and good to the kids. He has continued to do very well in school and his love for math and science continue to grow. He often helps Linda with her math homework and he loves to do it. He loves to read. He is reading whenever he finds some free time.
He is #1 in his chess club right now and really enjoys playing still. He has made some really good friends this year and he is very well know at school. He's even played with his friends and gone to their birthdays outside of school. They have a good group going at recess that are always playing football, soccer, and sports.
He was able to take an after school basketball class this year and also a free JAVA programming class. He also participated in a program before school that taught all about economics, how to write checks, apply for a job, etc. At the end of the program they actually worked at a job for a day. He was a manager at a radio station (see pic below) He loved it.
He looks forward to school every day. I think Kindergarten and 5th grade have definitely helped define the great kid he is today. Both of those years he had committed teachers that loved teaching and loved the kids they were teaching. I am so grateful he's had this awesome year. Only a little over a month to go until his elementary school years are over. I'm so happy they're ending on such a great note.
