The Rohrbach's: End of 2nd Grade and Pre-School

I don't know what to write. I'm too sad to write. I clearly adored Roosevelt (and Rainbow Pre-school) and leaving it is a very hard pill to swallow. We all made such amazing friends and truly found family in that school. The teachers were all wonderful, the Principle change this year was the BEST thing that could have every happened, and the support from parents to make the school the best it could be is unbeatable in my opinion. I'm sure we will find a new school family, and I will grow to love their new school over time, it's just going to be very hard to top Roosevelt in my mind. Plus, we are going to miss the PBL template we have come to know and love. Good news is a lot of schools are adapting the PBL concept, at least for some of their units. Sigh....

Both kids did a lot fo growing this year! Both physically and academically. See below for their comparison photos and end of the year questionnaires :)

I almost wish he wasn't wearing that sweatshirt because Charlie was wearing that same exact shirt s the first day of school!
