Kindergarten --- Check

Wow, my first born has completed his first year of school. What a year we have had. Blaine started his Kindergarten experience at LaVega Primary and he ended it at Rapoport Academy Elementary.

I can't say enough about what a great decision it has been to make the switch after Christmas break. The initial transition was a little tough, but Blaine says he had a blast. He had the opportunity to be challenged in several different areas. He was able to go into the 1st grade classroom everyday for math and then once a week he did "research projects" with the librarian, Mrs. Lane.

Mrs. Tooley thank you for your seeing the potential in Blaine and for welcoming him into your class. He had a great experience and especially loved your oversized pillows in the reading nook.



Mrs. Gall thank you for challenging Blaine in your first grade classroom and treating him as one of your own. He loved being able to come into your class and learn all the new things that you were able to open up to him.


No Kindergarten graduation at RAPS, but a great celebration the whole last week of school. What boy wouldn't enjoy multiple free play times outside and a movie or two.

Blaine we are so proud of you for hanging in there with all the changes for your Kindergarten year. We love you and love the big man you are becoming. You did an awesome job with the challenge of both classes and can't wait to see what next year holds for you. May you continue to grow in your love for others, your love for learning and your love for Jesus. Love Mom and Dad.
