Each child was recognized for outstanding academic and character qualities. Miles was recognized for Independent Worker and Honest and Helpful. It was really a quite magical year - Miles had a superb teacher who brought out his best. His end of year report said "Miles is a vivacious, sensitive, kind, extremely intelligent, and articulate young boy. His vocabulary and conversation is very mature. He shows compassion and caring for others. He is helpful, responsible, and honest. His manner is relaxed, accepting, and comfortable with who he is and his abilities. He has leadership abilities. He enjoys the friendships of many. He has a keen, enthusiastic curiosity about exploring the world around him. We have truly enjoyed him, have learned from him, and have been enriched by having him in our classroom this year. Thank you for sharing Miles with us. May your summer be all that you wish, want it to be. Miles will be in first grade next school year. He is ready. May it be for him, all that you wish, and want it to be, and more."
Miles wrote short notes to each of the teachers. Here's what he said:
Mrs. Tobin
She made me feel great. I had really great work. The work I thought was hard was easy. She called me up on helper of the day and I liked that. I will always remember that she is special to me
Ms. Erika
She’s really nice. She always compliments me whennI do a lot of work. She helped me with my leaf crown and I really liked that.
Miles celebrated his birthday with his class. They had a really cool ritual where he circled around "the earth" with a photo of himself for each year, then he placed a candle in the holder. The children sang to him each time around. The teacher began the whole thing by showing pictures of a developing fetus and asking Miles questions about the process. Miles basked in the attention and it meant a lot to him to have his whole family there. He was especially proud to have his brother, Max, there.
