1st Grade at Grandview




Well, I just wanted to post a little something about Preston's Ist grade year! His teacher was Mrs. Coyne. She was so kind and patient and really enjoyed having Preston in her class. They went on many field trips. To name a few they went to Macey's, Thanksgiving Point, and to a play about Amelia Bedelia. His favorite field trip was the trip to the play. They did a little play in their classroom about Mother Goose. All the kids acted out several nursery rhymes. Preston and a little girl named Brooklyn acted out the Old Mother Hubbard. It was sooooo cute! He invited grammy J, mom, dad, papa and lacy and ryan. All but papa were able to come. It was so cool to have such a big support group for Preston.

Another activity they did this year was a 1st grade program. They sang and spoke about all the things they did in their classrooms during each of the different seasons. Preston talked about the activities the kids would do during the summer. They sang many songs and had many actions to them as well.

At the end of the year the students, Mrs. Coyne's class painted pictures of whatever they wanted. Preston painted an awesome picture. Then all the pictures were put in a contest, and can you believe it? Preston won 1ST PLACE!!!! Way to go kiddo!!! He won a sculpting set. He was so shy about it when I asked him where he got it, but once he saw how proud we were of him, then he was more willing to talk about it. How cute is that?

I didn't know about "Presto" winning a contest. Wow that is awesome. I am so glad that we have been able to be such good friends, and been able to come and support Preston in those cool school things. "PEACE"
